Today's episode I discuss why investing in yourself as a parent, caregiver or investing in your adolescent is important. I will also discuss the differences between coaching and psychotherapy.
Why investing in yourself or your daughter is necessary
- Everyone has their blind spots or shadows Investing in yourself is supporting your mind, body, and spiritual self
- Whether investing in coaching services or mental health services you are gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, where you want to be and/or healing past hurts, traumas or gaining support in improving your mental health
- Investing in your daughter allows her to change current behavior patterns into being more confident or having an empowered mindset for her adult life
- Healing from a traumatic event(s)
- Gain coping skills to manage worries and fears
- Learn skills sets in habits, communication skills, organization and more
- Making small or big changes impacts your future
Coaching vs Psychotherapy
- There are different kinds of coaching -Business -Parenting -Life -Health -Spiritual
- Coaching does not treat mental health disorders or do mental health evaluations
- Confidentiality is different with coaching than medical or law confidentiality
- Life coaching is to create, develop and facilitate your personal, professional or business goals.
- Life coaching is to develop and to implement a strategy, plan, and/or program that is designed to achieve your goals
- In coaching, you are motivated and take responsibility for all your actions and decisions
- There are certification programs for coaches, but not regulated as it is for mental health professionals
- Psychotherapy or mental health counseling can diagnosis mental health issues and disorders
- Psychotherapy looks more at your past and/or family of origin issues
- Mental health professional attends graduate program (either master's level or doctoral level), depending on state has a specific amount of therapy hours to achieve under supervision, then can take licensure test
- Mental health professional can offer both types of services but can NOT treat the same person under each service
