Psychotherapy and life coaching can be useful in different ways. I use four analogies to describe some of the most common approaches people take to seeking professional help, whether as individuals or couples. Which one best describes you?
You (or you and your partner) are in crisis and would like support to get through it. Sometimes we seek support in crisis much like we might go to the emergency room to receive emergency medical care. This type of counseling is problem focused and solution oriented. Crisis counseling is to facilitate stabilization.
You (or you and your partner) experienced a crisis and are would like support to recover from it. You are looking for professional support to minimize long term damage after a crisis has happened, to avoid the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms. This is like getting physical therapy after an injury to ensure muscles heal correctly and to minimize scar tissue that would limit you in the long term.
You (or you and your partner) are seeking support for chronic or recurring issues that keep you from living life to the fullest. This is tantamount to seeing a chiropractor, where you might start with regular visits, but then space them out for maintenance and tune-up as needed. Professional help can serve that function as well: it can help you manage chronic or recurring issues better, by helping you create and maintain healthy response patterns to sustain the level of wellness you have achieved.
You are looking for personal growth as an individual or a couple. This is similar to someone seeking personal training to achieve a physical health goal. A personal trainer will challenge you, support you, and hold you accountable to you can reach your personal goals.
