I AM TELLING YOU, GUYS, ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR FIRST INTUITION - THE FIRST!
FREE YOURSELF. FIND YOURSELF.
COACHING? LISTENING & COMMUNICATING
MENTORING? LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE OUR INNER BALANCE
THERAPY? THE FIRST STEP IS HARD, BUT AMAZING
LIFE COUNSELLING
Life Coaching? Life Mentoring? Psychotherapy?
What Is the Difference? The Million-Dollar Question!
Life coaching is often confused with other related fields like life mentoring or therapy. Well, I am telling you, guys, it is actually quite different.
Therapists are healing and treating - or trying to, while life coaches/mentors are helping you find your inner harmony, potential and wholeness.
Therapists are dealing with your past and releasing pain, while life coaches/mentors, as partners and companions, help you focus on your present and future.
Please note that a life coach, unlike a mentor, is not allowed to provide advice, give suggestions, customize solutions, or give you a magical cure. A life coach is a companion "Begleiter," who is helping you find your inner peace, think clearly, clarify your objective, and make the right decisions. Plus, a life coach is not a therapist, who offers medication or treatment. A life coach, however, motivates, offers emotional support, and, above all, encourages self-improvement.
To me, life coaching is a professional relationship. Mentorship or life mentoring, however, is a professional friendship. Now let me explain this, shortly and simply, by an example. BUT, hey, it is not Bible; it is just my opinion, and my take on that. I am just a normal guy with an opinion - but also experience and responsibility. So, if you disagree with me, then, by all mean, try to change my mind. And I might change it if you give me a good reason - with great pleasure. After all, life is an amazing school - we are all teachers, and we are all students, and we learn from each other.
Classic Example:
(Metaphorically Speaking)
Me: How may I help you?
You: Mazin, I am alone in the dark, and I want to go home. Could you please help me!
Me: With pleasure! Here is a flashlight, a map, and a compass. Good luck!
You: Thank you very much!
Me: My pleasure!
That is life coaching.
Or…
Me: How may I help you?
You: Mazin, I am alone in the dark, and I want to go home. Could you please help me!
Me: With pleasure! Here is a flashlight, a map, and a compass. Let us go together and enjoy life.
You: Great! Let us go!
That is life mentoring.
Or…
Me: How may I help you?
You: Mazin, I am alone in the dark, and I want to go home. Could you please help me!
Me: With pleasure! But before giving you a flashlight, a map or a compass, let us talk about “being alone in the dark!”
You: OK! Let us talk!
That is therapy.
It is YOUR life. Make YOUR choice!
Cheers!
