Episode 22: Coaching vs Therapy

Today’s episode goes over how coaching and therapy differ.

One of the most common questions I hear from potential clients is: "What’s the difference between coaching and therapy?"

In this episode, I answer that question in a few ways:

+ I share my favorite metaphor about the differences between the fields.

+ I talk more about the origins of the fields, differences in training, and also how it can feel different when you are actually in the sessions themselves.

+ I also share one difference between coaching and therapy that I often hear, but don’t totally agree with.

You’ll walk away from this episode with a better understanding of what kinds of challenges are best served by therapy, what are best served by coaching, and how to decide if you need a therapist or a coach.
