290-Myth #3: Coaching Is Like Therapy... and Maybe Better!

COACHING VS COUNSELING- Coaching and therapy are not the same—and that’s a good thing! Coaching is about forward momentum, while therapy often dives into healing from the past.

2. It’s essential to recognize when a client needs therapy and refer them to the right professionals.
3. Staying within your scope of practice protects both you and your client while enhancing trust.
