Hayat koçları hakkında ne düşünüyorum?

Some can't get paid internships – it's a 5% chance unless the program you have is already equipped. A person can't sit for an exam they can't train for. Research says 50% chance therapy is successful. DSM is a medical manual. Therapy is not a medical job.

"Mental illness" is the modern take on therapy, the Disease Model. Used to call them "Mental Disorder" (which CBT is amazing at addressing in terms of evidenced based intervention), but Big Pharma wants their slice of the pie so the Disease Model reigns supreme! IMO.

Great answer!

I'm interested in becoming a state-registered life coach in the form of a QMHP-A in the state of Virginia and working in tandem with licensed professional counselors and therapists.

I have an MSE in education. Everything is so incredibly regulated. There is no real need for coaching certification. At least not in my state. Really. I think it’s super annoying and a big scam to have to be qualified in everything. The states always want their cut. When In reality personal experience and wisdom from someone who is of an analytical mind, That they can see something from several different perspectives is best to have at ur side. I have worked in the teaching field and some of them are completely nuts yet think they are god gift to education. A lot of the women teachers are super pathetic when it comes to life choices in men and making quick decisions with wanting to fit the mold. Have to get married make babies fast and fit in. I know several women who have selected bums to support. Teachers to me are one of the dumbest group of people on the planet. My mom didn’t even finish her high school diploma. She was so incredibly quick witted about relationships and money, money management, motherhood, how to deal with people. She didn’t finish high school because she was going to get the paddle. So I asked her one day when I was working at the college. I said hey ma, u wanna get ur GED. She scoffed and said what for. I’m already a millionaire. Lol. Of course never living lavishly u will go through any money u make. But my aunt who grew up in the rice fields of her country can’t let a dime go either. These women will die and with all this money. And not a days worth of college or diploma. College is overrated. It’s all a way to make u get into debt fast and drown before u can get started. Mom was a full time house wife, stay at home mother, and business owner. She was the boss in every Avenue of her life and died like a Queen on a thrown. So did college make her street smart? College is t worth the toilet paper or any certificate if u fail to have common sense and street smarts. Also therapist can push their own bias opinions and agendas as much as anyone else. My therapist sister was just working for a complete lunatic. And she’s a social worker. The nut job was crazy. I think after a while. Therapist go crazy too. How can u avoid it. U are a dumping ground for problems all day long. I was about to be a therapist too but I switched majors last minute. And quiet frankly I rather just get my feet wet at life coach. My experience I have so much to offer. I laugh when I see people going to therapist younger then the client. It’s like what kind of experience do u really have to offer little moss fresh out of college.

As someone who's training to be a certified Life coach I agree with all you say, and first off one of the rules I am being taught is that a life coach is but a life coach, not an adviser, a therapist, a counsellor, or a doctor of any sort, and as an ethical life coach you are there to act in the client 's best interests. If they are working with any other professionals you do not discourage the client you try and work with that professional, or if you feel a client may need the help of a counsellor a therapist or another professional you gently bring this to the client that you are unable to help them then encourage him/her to consider speaking to a medical doctor who may be able to advise them of other professionals to deal with the issues they have so they can once again be their best then after their issues are resolved if they then wish to continue coaching you may as a coach continue.

The difference between a life coach and therapist is that a therapist digs in your past to try and fix your past traumas.. where a life coach gives you new perspectives to overcome barriers you may have for your FUTURE.. therapist are people that go to college for a degree that most have no life experiences that relate to the clients.. life coaches are more likely to relate and have overcame what the client is going through.. you express certifications like thats the big point.. life experiences IS the certification.. i bet as a therapist, theres very little that you can relate to your client and are only giving advice from your books.. me personally, i would rather hear from someone who has experience not training..

This video is about the comments section 🙂

Respectfully, therapists look to the past to explain the today. Life coaches look to today and support to make the best of the future.

Currently finishing up my certification and appreciate your take. I've always been one that people come to for help/advice, but I'm new to the actual side of coaching, and this helps me feel reassured that I have chosen the right path.

Wonderful objective review! Respect that!

I am trained on how to teach mental illness! It's called the BIBLE.

You don't mind working with life coaches because both life coaches AND therapists are scams.

I don’t think throwing salt on life coaches is going to make people run to therapists… Life Coaches aren’t a trend – And this video sounds like you might be a hater 🤷🏼‍♂️ ijs #my2cents

"mental Illness" is a term made up for unresolved trauma!

Life coaching is a pyramid scheme

I’m 59 and can’t decide if need a life coach, a therapist or what. All I know is that my get up and go has gotten up and went and it’s depressing.

Thank you for your video and clarifying that these are your thoughts. I am a certified mental & behavioral health & wellness coach, and I have been a therapist. There are many Clinicians that are also Coaches. The approaches differ. In addition, if you look into the National Board of Health and Wellness you will find that these Coaches are recognized by insurance companies in process of being a billable code in early 2025). International Coaching Federation (Not approved by insurance companies) International Coaching Federation focuses on more executive and leadership coaching. There are no state and federal guidelines- or international that have guidelines or requirements. Coaching like you said does not diagnosis. I would invite you to do a consultation with a coach and see how you feel. Another video would be amazing! It is an incredible approach and I have helped break the stigma around therapy and many of my clients have sought therapists.
Life coaching is not a long term approach.

Therapist are totally different then life coaches. We here to inspire and help you move past blockages and narratives that are not yours. Therapist are in my opinion are not helpful.

I was a team manager (now I am in HR) at a big company for awhile and we had a mandatory coaching training and a consultant helping us implement coaching practices when talking to employees – I felt like it was incredibly useful and engaging for employees and contributed to building trust and creating good relationships with everyone, though it was not always the most efficient approach keeping in mind the type of environment we were working in was one where results were expected quickly and, after all, there were different expectations than in coach – coacheé relationship. That is to say that in my experience for this type of environment specifically, a balance of coaching and constructive feedback was ideal. Anywho! During this time period there were a couple of times when I encouraged an employee to start seeing a therapist because they had some personal issues which I was not equipped to help with. I am thinking of getting into coaching again as a side hustle because I loved it and I would definitely have the same approach. I have also been seeing a therapist and coach myself for a couple of years and she is immensely supportive of this idea 🙂
As a side note, I think it's very important for anyone with a social profession to work on themselves and ensure that they are not allowing their own challenges (which of course we all have) to reflect in their work with others. This is why even though I have handled the impact of some unfortunate circumstances in my life for the most part, I am still consistently seing my therapist on a monthly basis to have kind of a mental health check-in day, and sometimes more often if I am going through a particularly challenging period.

Life coaches what darlin ?

We live in such a degree driven world. A lot of psychologists and therapists are terrible and they are certainly certified 😂

Hi! I am currently training for my Professional Life Coach Certification (CPC). It has been an amazing journey so far. I look forward to helping make an impact through coaching.

I have worked with multiple coaches and therapists. I don’t want to discount the extensive training that therapists go to (including one I saw who had his doctorate) but to be honest I saw far more differences individually than I did between professions. I found it’s more important to find someone you click with and suits your individual needs and preferences than to find someone with a certain certification. Although yes, of course, as you mentioned, if there is a serious mental health issue, a mental health professional should be involved. For many people though, I think coaching is a great option and often more affordable too.

I think they could be great for like professional development or extra encouragement or a different perspective… but they don’t operate under an overarching authority and they don’t risk losing their license or business if they even accidentally give bad advice or lead you down the wrong path for you.

But when you are dealing with something deeper, they might be less than ideal as a sole care provider because their training doesn’t cover as deep issues. Or inform them of how to best deal with yours.

Love the idea that they can play a supportive role in your care team. To save money to talk to maybe more often than your psych who might be able to communicate with them to help track your progress toward your goals and encourage that.
