Listen "Therapy Vs Coaching"
Episode Synopsis
Hey friend,“Do I need therapy or a coach?”If you’ve asked that, you’ve probably heard the hot takes: Coaching is dangerous. Therapy is stuck in the past.Here’s my take after living in both worlds: there isn’t a single “right” path. There’s your path.Different seasons need different tools. The right choice depends on where you are, what you want, and how quickly you need support.In this week’s episode, I map what each does beautifully, what each tends to miss (especially around the body and nervous system), where they overlap, and three questions to help you decide your next best step.Timestamps:01:50 — The two worlds I belong to (and how the blend helps clients)03:01 — Why my approach is different04:37 — Therapy in one sentence07:12 — Why there’s no “right vs wrong” here10:59 — What therapy often misses (and why tools on top of old patterns fail under stress)14:21 — What coaching often misses (rigor, equity, and trauma focus)17:59 — Meds can be lifesaving—why they’re a start, not the finish19:30 — 3 questions to choose therapist vs coach (functioning, outcome, speed)If this episode brings clarity, and if someone in your world is deciding between therapy and coaching, please forward this to them. 💛Oh—and if you have something you're navigating and would love my take on it... 🗣️ You can submit a question or situation for a future episode right here (totally anonymous!): 👉Submit your questionP.S.
