What Is Life Coaching And How Does It
Differ From Therapy?
Like psychotherapy in LA, life coaching is a supportive relationship between you and a trained professional who can assist you in creating a more fulfilling life. While therapy focuses on healing the past and helping you to better understand your feelings, life coaching is about taking action. It's about moving forward and taking steps toward designing a positive future, such as embarking on a new career. While a psychotherapist in LA might ask the question "How do you feel?" a life coach often asks "What do you want and how would you like to feel?" and then helps you to develop strategies to obtain your personal or professional goals, whether you're looking to save your marriage or get that promotion.
How Does Life Coaching Work?
Life coaching is usually conducted over the telephone and sessions customarily last anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes. You may also be given weekly "success assignments" designed to assist you in staying committed to your vision and reaching your goals. Monthly cost for life coaching varies depending on the program you choose. During your initial session with a California life coach, we establish a contract where we agree to a program of three to four life coaching sessions per month. By your second life coaching session, you will have created a "mission statement" and be well on the way to achieve your goals and living a more fulfilling life.
How Do I Start With My Life Coach?
Once you have decided that you want to "streamline your life to success," you can either E-mail me or call me to set up your free introductory coaching session. In that session we discuss exactly how coaching can benefit you in your particular situation. Following your initial session, you will experience greater clarity about what you want in your life and how to go about achieving it.
