Ever wonder the difference between a Life Coach and A Mental Health Counselor from MH counselor’s perspective?

This is not extensive, but it is what I have gathered and gauged after a decade as a mental health counselor and watching the Life Coaching industry boom.

Traditionally speaking, the main differences are…
Life coaching:
-does not diagnose or treat disorders
-focus in on goal achievement
- a forward future based approach
-Uses MI (motovational interviewing), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and person centered therapy techniques like paraphrasing, unconditional positive regard, active listening, mirroring, and being attuned to their client
-is not regulated and does not require a license
-can call themselves life coach, health coach, weath coach, wellness coach, ______coach…
-main clientele is high functioning, goal and achievement orientated, seeking soecific goals for specific issues like expanding their business, finding a life partner, etc.

Mental Health Counseling:
-focuses on the psychological issues underlying what may be preventing one from their dreams and goals or just a higher level of functioning
-there are many more modalities utilized in therapy especially depending on the needs of the client due
to more types of issues address in therapy like ADHD, OCD, NPD, BPD, anxiety, depression, Autism, behavioral disorders, sexual dysfunctions, familial conflicts, couples conflicts, etc.

As you can see, they are two distinct types of one on one relationships that help meet people where they are at to meet specific needs and goals for that season, reason, or life time. One is not better than the other, in my opinion.
Full disclosure: I now have BOTH!
More support is always encouraged 🩵🙏🏻‼️

6 Questions to Unstick any Disagreement

Are You and Your Partner STUCK…?

…SICK & TIRED, BORED, EXHAUSTED From having the SAME DISAGREEMENTS / Annoying Discussions with your partner that seem to persist and repeat without resolution?

It’s like beating your head against the wall, right?!?

Become UNSTUCK now!

According to the Gottman Institute, 87% of couples become unstuck in their perpetual repeating disagreements when they ask these 6 questions to one another:

1. What are your beliefs, values, and ethics that are part of your position on this issue?
2. Do you have background/history that relates to your position?
3. What makes this position deeply important to you?
4. What do you feel about your position?
5. What is your ideal dream here that underlies your position on this issue?
6. Is there some deep life purpose, meaning, or goal that is really important that is a part of your position on this issue?

Wow-
Can you see the layers of discovery that could be had between you and partner with these tried and tested questions?
Can you guess the amount of understanding and insight that can come from them?
How might understanding one another this deeply shape your intimacy?

Note: This can only work when Each partner takes the time and effort to achieve the listener role, putting their position aside for the moment to hear and understand the other using Sincere Curiosity and Interest in learning about what is so important to the other that they have taken such a strong position on the issue.

Another Note For You:
Even if you are the only one in the relationship that does this, can you imagine your own insight and awareness of people and their convictions deepening your
understanding of them?
Can you imagine your stress level decreasing as you discover the true meaning for why people do what they do, what motivates them, and that it is NOT YOU!?!
Can you imagine the discoveries you can make about yourself in your own reflection with a new and more insightful perspective?
