Coach vs Therapist- Confused? Part 1 - Laying the Groundwork to Figure Out What's Best for You -53
Have you ever wondered the difference between a coach and a therapist? Do you think there even is a difference? There are multiple terms for coaches. If you browse through the list of the incredible guests we’ve had on The Grit Show; you’ll find at least 15 variations. That doesn’t even touch on the multiple terms for clinicians; from Marriage and Family Therapists to Licensed Clinical Social Workers to Licensed Professional Counselors. I recently had a helpful conversation that made me realize my knowledge of the differences came from my work experience and training. That conversation also helped me realize that the important differences may not be the ones I initially realized, and they may be harder to explain. So we are dedicating three episodes—our first series—to Coaching vs. Therapy. We’ll break it down and give you the answers you may seek for yourself or those you love. Tune in next week for our 1st anniversary episode with Laurie Leal, a guest I’m excited for y’all to meet. It’ll be a great conversation around cultivating and keeping friendships as adults.
The following week (the first week of August) we will continue this conversation in episode 55 with the 2nd part of the Coaching vs. Therapy series. Get ready for an insightful and thought-provoking conversation on coaching, therapy, and, most of all, your wellness. Join Linh Phan, a body acceptance and intuitive eating coach (you can revisit her on episode 29); Eric Bauberger, a Holistic Life Coach and Motivational Singer-Songwriter (he was our guest on episode 07); Jacquelyn Emery, a Certified Life Coach and podcast host (guest on episode 47 and host of a podcast guest episode 48); and Will Halpin, a psychotherapist and public health social worker (he shared with us about IFS in episode 32) as they share their expertise. Don’t miss these episodes for valuable insights into finding the right helper!
