What is wellness coaching all about? Is it right for me? |
If you answer yes to two or more of the following questions, wellness coaching may be a good next step for you:
|
coaching is not |
Coaching does not take the place of a doctor, counselor or therapist, nor does a coach diagnose or prescribe. A coach will not give medical advice or tell a client what to do. If you have serious mental or physical health issues, please see your primary care doctor before deciding to work with a health coach. Coaching can augment your current work with a doctor, counselor, therapist, or other practitioner.
|
The coach approach |
The 'coach approach' is quite different than what you might experience in your work with other practitioners. Coaching diverges from the 'expert approach' where a practitioner will know what's best for you, give advice, prescribe, or give solutions. Coaches rely on YOU to be the expert on you. A coach will ask questions and look to you for answers. It can be eye-opening to realize how much wisdom you already have.
