Coaching or Therapy? What’s the Difference?
I was at my parents’ house many years ago.
We were asking deeper questions.
Speaking to the difference between coaching and therapy
And how we define the two.
So when we look at how to define
Therapy…
It is often in psychological models that are creating a safe enough space for us to tune into our system and our memory.
It's being in a space with someone one to one that's trained particular models that's honouring duty of care.
And ensuring that it's safe enough and it's paced over a period of time.
But the focus is really on tuning into memory what has happened in the past, PLUS
How we can consolidate, reorganise, and redefine those memories to help change and shift how we view ourselves.
Then when we look at voaching.
Coaching might have some therapeutic influence and may be informed by it.
But it is focusing more on identifying:
- where we are in the current location
- where we wanna be in the future
- and the steps
- the tools,
- and the resources that are required to build towards that.
In both spaces…
We have someone or a community of people that are helping us understand our own experience and what's needed to get there.
But the Therapeutic Space is more based on the PAST to help us in the PRESENT.
The Coaching Space is more based in the PRESENT to help us towards the FUTURE.
One might be focused more on emotions and potentially somatics in the body.
But in Coaching?
It's focused on habits and skills and being able to execute those.
An accumulation of those over time to be able to get towards where we want to go.
Which is actually what we help you with at SMP.
