Life Coach vs Therapist
The main difference between life coaching and therapy is risk.
Life coaching is meant to have you approach your tolerances for stress and challenge. Therapy is designed to avoid re traumatization. Therapy is a low risk environment. In life coaching we apporach fear and stress by learning to manage the rise in fear and stress that occurs when you get nearer to your goals.
In Life Coaching there is risk. Risk managmenet and risk tolerance is the purpose of life coaching.
Your choice on whether to work with a therapist or life coach rests on your personal assessment of your ability to handle risk.
In life coaching we will teach you how to take real risks in the real arenas of life. This means that you could go forward into life and have a bad result as a result of life coaching.
In Coaching we would then teach you how to recover from this failure and then reapproach for a better result.
If this seems counter intuitive to you then you may not be a good candidate for life coaching.
The value proposition of life coaching is that nothing in life is without risk. All we do is teach you how to live in that risk environment without becoming emotionally defeated by it.
The more we lear to manage real risk, the more successful we will become.
Overcoming Procrastination
Life Coaching helps with procrastination by increasing your ability to operate under a regime of discomfort.
We do this through a number of tactics:
- Maximize access to the reward aspects of work
- Developing a sense of the passion and vision that drives you
- Limiting time under the gun
- Learning how to delegate and prioritize
- Learning how to break down tasks
- Conditioning the mind to perform under stress
- Creating routines that yield success over time
How do I align my Career with my Passion and Purpose
Unfulfilling work is one of the most common reasons why people seek life coaching.
To align yourself with passion it is simple, You just have to spend more time detailing, envisioning and planning your life around the things that excite you.
Having a career that is aligned with passion can take many forms.
- You work every day to achieve an external goal such as family home or community
- You work directly in an organization who’s mission is in direct alignment with your values.
Whether or not your daily work is in direct alignment with your values, you will only find out more by doing coaching work to better understand what your values are.
Becoming fully aligned with your values gets deeper and deeper over tiem. The more time you spend developing your sense of values and passion, the more you will wirk daily to move in the direction of alignment with those.
Coping with feelings of loneliness or isolation ?
One of the most important things I learned in my life coaching journey was how to open my life to the viewpoints and offerings of others.
The most important form of conversation is not self exposition. It is to ask questions of the other person.
Whether or not I agree with people is no reason why I cannot open myself to hear their viewpoints.
My anxiety and perfectionism about others had become a wall that I had between myself and everyone.
When I learned to hear what other people have to say, I developed the skill of being able to open myself to relationships no matter how complicated.
