Bonus Episode: Therapy vs. Coaching: What’s the Difference? How to Know Which Option Is Right for You on Your Relationship Journey
Manage episode 359130199 series 3363780
In today's surprise bonus episode, we're exploring the differences between working with a therapist vs. a dating coach. I've received this question several times in the last few weeks, so I created an episode around it that you can reference when needed!
Therapy and dating coaching are complementary and can be used together, but each has its own specific purpose:
➡️Therapists are guides for your past & present personal journey. Therapy is helpful to process and heal from major events in your past. Therapy often includes:
- Inner work
- Processing/healing from past events
- Exploratory approach
➡️Coaches are guides for your present & future relationship journey. Coaching is helpful for in-the-moment skills and strategies as they're happening to help you create your desired future. Coaching often includes:
- External work
- Taking action toward future relationship goals
- Strategic/structured approach
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The *type* of support provided with therapy vs. coaching is also very different:
➡️Therapy typically meets for 1 hour once per week
➡️Coaching combines both 1 hour video sessions AND communication between sessions via Whatsapp text & voice messages. Whatsapp communication provides continuous in-the-moment support anytime you face a challenge or need feedback/clarity on next steps with dating.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The *duration* of support also differs:
➡️Therapy often goes on indefinitely
➡️As a dating coach, my goal is NOT for us to work together indefinitely, because our goal is to get you into a healthy relationship so you can start living your best life!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
⭐️Above all: Trust your intuition!
➡️If you have significant past *trauma* that holds you back from even trying to date, I recommend starting with therapy (because taking action and forcing yourself to date might actually cause more harm than good).
➡️If you feel like you're holding *yourself* back, or that you keep attracting the wrong partners and you want to focus on taking action and working through obstacles, then coaching might be a helpful next step for you to start building your dating skill set.
