Here are a few things you didn't know about the differences between therapy and coaching...

Therapy and coaching use many of the same foundational skills.

But they use these skills to help their clients achieve different outcomes.

For example...

Therapy is about helping someone function, to overcome:

• Panic attacks
• Depression
• Addiction
• Trauma

And other forms of psychopathology (aka, mental illness).

Coaching is about helping someone flourish, through:

• Optimizing their habits
• Reaching their potential
• Developing business strategies
• Creating an environment for peak performance

And other ways to level up and go further, faster.

Most coaches have zero mental health training, so they have no idea what is (and isn't) therapy.

Most therapists only know mental illness, so they have no idea how to help people flourish.

This is why some coaches think they can do therapy, and most therapists hate coaches.

Many coaches are practicing therapy without a license and don't even know it.

If you call yourself an:

• ACT coach
• ADHD coach
• Trauma coach
• Anxiety coach
• Addiction coach

You need to learn the line between therapy and coaching so you don't cross it.

Therapy is a highly regulated field.

It takes years of:

• Exams
• Supervision
• Course work
• Practicum and internship

And maintaining licensure through board-approved continuing education credits.

It took me 12+ years to become a Licensed Clinical Psychologist.

Coaching is an unregulated field.

Anyone can call themselves a coach.

You don't need any training whatsoever.

A 12-year-old could throw #lifecoach on their TikTok and call it a day.

Which is why most coaches are supremely mediocre.

But there's a huge opportunity here...

If you want to:

• Charge more than 4X what high-paid therapists make
• Stand out from the sea of mediocre coaches
• Help people flourish
