How Life Coaching Can Support Healing Through Mental Health and Addiction Treatment with Ashley Shihab

In this episode of Treatment Redefined, host David Kniffen, CEO of Enterhealth, sits down with Ashley Shihab, a dedicated Life Coach, to explore the evolving role of coaching in mental health and addiction recovery. They dive into what it means to feel stuck, how to find clarity, and the steps people can take to truly move forward in life. Ashley shares her approach to motivating clients and holding them accountable, and the conversation highlights the differences and connections between therapy and coaching—where therapy is focused on healing and mental health, coaching emphasizes action and personal achievement.

They also discuss the distinction between life coaches and sober coaches, and how each supports different aspects of a person's journey. Ashley sheds light on how life coaching can complement more traditional treatment methods, offering a holistic approach to recovery. While life coaching isn't a core component of functional psychiatry or somatic therapy, it plays a valuable role in supporting behavioral change, goal setting, and lifestyle modifications that reinforce clinical work. This episode offers an eye-opening look at how innovative approaches like coaching can enhance overall treatment outcomes.
