Undercover investigation: Life coaches caught on camera (Marketplace)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.พ. 2022
- CBC Marketplace producers went undercover to investigate the unregulated business of life coaching. We found some coaches are offering mental health advice they aren’t qualified to give, and using coercive sales tactics to pressure people into spending hundreds - sometimes thousands - of dollars on the spot.

We contacted all the life coaches in our story. We also reached out to Tony Robbins about our story. You can read their statements here: www.cbc.ca/1.6364878

I'm struggling to understand why Marketplace is after small business owners instead of chasing the big guys. You guys are bullies.
Because " life coaches" should NOT be treating mental illness. And Tony Robbins is a criminal psychopath.
I love how these life coaches don’t even have their own lives together
Doctors were overrepresented in the alcoholic stats.
Is that like when driving by a hospital and all the staff are outside smoking??? Or is that different
Many of the life coaches are unsuccessful in their own lives. Maybe they can save others but can't save themselves.
Exactly! What gives anyone the right to tell someone else what they need to do to improve their lives? How do you know if you even have the same values? It’s never something I would do
Neither do 99.99% of those in ALL areas of behavioral health, whether they're a psychiatrist, psychologist, MFCC, social worker, LMFF, etc.
Those people (who work in the areas of behavioral health) are some of the most toxic, harmful and messed up people anywhere.
People generally go into the helping professions field to "solve" their own problems and help themselves, not so much others; they drink the Kool-Aide--deluding themselves and others--by claiming that they want to "help" people. In fact, behavioral healthcare is a sick and twisted, poorly regulated "profession", full of toxic predators. "Life coaches" are the flunkies who don't take their role seriously enough to even bother seeking "appropriate" professional training (which is still questionable at best).
I feel like one thing they should've touched on is patient/client confidentiality. Therapists are bound by client confidentiality while coaching isn't legally considered confidential
Therapists also get paid to Prescribe you drugs as well. Lets not forget that the more pills they make the more money they make.
@@andrewchapman5659 Only psychiatrists can prescribe medication. Not therapists.
@@andrewchapman5659 you have 0 idea on what you are talking about.
@@andrewchapman5659 that doesn’t happen in Canada. It is a USA problem that should be dealt with
@@downhomesunset no he’s wrong. In the US only psychiatrists can prescribe medications because they are medical doctors. Not therapists or psychologists. I was a former school psychologist and I was not authorized to prescribe medications. A child would have to go to their pediatrician or psychiatrist for medications.
As a registered psychologist, I’m so glad you’ve done this story to expose the harmful predation of vulnerable people.
Where I live, a lot of stay at home mom's and low income mom's are all of a sudden becoming "life coaches" or "mompreneurs ". They constantly post videos and preach "positive vibes only", it's a bizarre phenomenon. They don't seem to be coaching much of anyone or making money thank God.
I have had psychologists do just as much damage been in and out of therapy since 5 and mental health therapists are not being held to this standard either. No offense to you you may be great, just going on my own personal experience.
@@oopsiedaisy1320 There are plenty of terrible psychologists, don’t get me wrong. I’m
Sorry you’ve had that experience.
@@ZacErickson1906 thank you for being understanding and kind and didn't take it personal. 🙏
@@oopsiedaisy1320 if psychologists have done this type of damage, I'd consider a board complaint.
There are several good, bad, and so-so psychologists but if a psychologist does anything along the lines of what happened in this video it seems to be an extreme violation and against psychology ethics.
People exploiting others' pain at vulnerable moments are amongst the worst of humanity.
*cough every MLM ever cough *
@@goldenamik322 that's exactly what I was thinking nxivm. Even though they said they were in a pyramid scheme if they were look at the life that organization swallowed.
I can see a life coach, helping with credit, finances, helping to get organized in your home, how to do interviews, résumés, adding value to yourself in relationships, listening, also pay as you go…. These people are terrible sheisters, and wanna be sales people.
Yes I have a coach now for finances and it’s very helpful! But for my mental health I go to a licensed therapist.
Biggest red flag is having a ‘life coach’ session in a fast food chain lol
$150 an hour! At Timmies?! You'd be better off paying a person of your choice to go for a fun lunch with you!
LOL

I watched the first half of the Life Coach Training Institute's response to Merketplace's email. (The video is long... 1.5 hrs.) It was quite unprofessional and cringey. It was made out to seem like "we built our program well - if you get a bad egg of a 'coach', that's your problem and not ours." Um, if they are "trained" by you, they are your responsibility, buddy.
Life coaching has got to be one of the biggest scams I’ve ever heard of.
This and those miracle metal bracelets that supposedly cure everything. $35 at Wal Mart.
Did you hear about the miracle bracelets on Amazon that had high radioactive material inside? Scary
@@fettersofdromi my father is a geologist and he says that magnetic bracelets do nothing. There is enough magnetism in the earth to do what any bracelet claims to.
@@downhomesunset Yup! They look cool but that's about it.
So if I'm a failure at life I just have to deal with it myself?!
I love marketplace ! Thanks for doing another amazing piece! I had a counselor (registered social worker) do the exact same thing with the package/ act fast to get a cheaper deal. Walked away from them. It disgusted me how someone could do that and try to take advantage of someone in need like that.
Certified! Only Registered social workers are overseen & directly affected by removal!
@@brandydinsmore8214 thanks for your reply ! Not sure why I wrote certified. They were definitely registered. I'll update it to registered :) they also charged equivalent or more than a psychologist which blew me away haha I appreciate your support and advice :)
@@jasonwalker4155
I want my rates to align with what i would charge hourly (as a Social worker with a masters and license) (but in this case, weekly) which in many areas can be from 75-250 an hour (i got that from a “how much do coaches make” article but also asked other LiCSWs about what they charge and it ranged from 90-150 an hour. I chose 90 at first as i just started coaching a few months ago after 25 yrs with state child protection agency. But i am getting my ADHD-CCSP certification (just saying i have training to be a Certified Clinical Service Provider for people with ADHD. While i may go up 10 when i complete that certification, i do not agree with the “do it now or lose the good deal”. Last thing those needing mental health support need is more stress and pressure. I am more likely to do some groups on certain topics and say if you cant right now, i will be happy to let them know when i do another one.
I think the disconnect is that some have a degree, retire, and wish to work for themselves after years in a bureaucracy, but have zero business education. When we seek some classes on business understanding for coaching because that is a specific kind of solo business, many who teach marketing and branding also encourage asking for higher prices for packages. Because we therapeutically people tend to under appreciate our own work. But some can go overboard.
@@ledacedar6253
In Alabama or maybe US, its Licensed not Registered. I think Registered refers to nurses.
Getting a life coach certification while shopping at Walmart...sounds legit.
cgasucks: Oh yes, Totally legit.... although shopping for an hour while taking the test. twice, could get expensive 🤣
Walmart: save money on certificates, live better
My gawd this is disgusting. Playing with ppl's mental health is very dangerous. Narcissistic ppl seem to be drawn to this industry bec of the quick money. I know someone personally doing this. Charging ppl $140/hr. An they dis therapist. Dangerous
I've always, always been leery of "life coaches", even Tony Robbins, the consummate conman. They are preying on people while those people are possibly at a low ebb, vulnerable, or even desperate. Some of these "life coaches" sounded like hardcore timeshare salespeople. 😮😮😮
Yeah the conferences where Robbins does the life-changing advice in 5 minutes in front of everyone is sooooo....sad, and scary.
These life coaches need to be exposed for what they are. I went to Tony robins, his course was a total rip off and was mostly advertising for people to spend more money with him. He helped me with absolutely nothing! He a con man
21:51 Tony Robbins was a self proclaimed bully. Some of the things he says though r helpful
Good job marketplace ,love how u exposing these useless people in our society
I absolutely agree that coaching should be regulated. As someone who was harmed by 'professional' therapy, I also believe that psychologists and psychiatrists to should answerable to an independent body, rather than to their own self-protective governing bodies.
I think there's definitely a place for life coaching, like someone who just wants to build better habits, get themselves back on track a bit, etc. It NEEDS to come with real mental health training though, so people who need genuine therapy and help get screened out and directed to the correct places. People's lives are at risk and there absolutely needs to be regulation.
The quiz while shopping 😂😂
Therapy is really expensive and a lot of those that struggle with intense things are super broke. How does anybody find it in this case? Why isn't it covered for those that desperately need to talk to somebody
This is unfortunately true. Most good ones are in the 100+/ hour range. Student clinics can be cheaper but may not be easy to access. Helplines are free but most of them are not counselling service. And the free counselling service out there are bursting at the seams.
Yes therapy is expensive but life coaching is not synonymous or the solution. That's like going to a health coach instead of a doctor.
I really feel for those people, espacially Matt (I hope I didn’t get your name wrong). I wish you all the best recoveries. I really hope you all will heal from this, you deserve the best. Nobody deserves to be treated like that, it’s so awful I don’t even have words for it.
If licensed therapy was government-funded or just cheaper, many people wouldn't feel the need to turn to life coaches.
I agree. It's long overdue.
They may have a place but not in place of MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.
As someone who has spent 12 years to become a clincial mental health therapist, strting with a four year undergrad degree, plus a year practicum (five years). Followed by three years in graduate school, followed with a six month practicum, with an additional year of internship plus a thesis, I find this insulting. This is just to graduate! This doesn't include the 3,000 hours of clinical supervision and passing the national exam after around a decade and a half of university level clinical training and supervision. The 36 hours of additional training per two years also is monitored.
Thanks for airing this. My friend told me about this episode and your research is bang on. I'm a certified Life Coach and there are too many shady coaches out there. It would be great if Marketplace can help the coaching industry become regulated or at least become a catalyst. On the other side, I have had many clients who have seen counselors or therapists and has not
helped them whereas a life coach has. I guess there's a need for all modalities.
I think if a person sees it as 'rent an optimistic friend' then it's ok, but oh my goodness.
If someone is dealing with mental health issues, what they need is a therapist they click with, and to continue searching until they find one that is educated and knowledgeable. If a "Life Coach" can't support what is best for them, they, the coaches, certainly don't deserve to be anywhere near vulnerable people. One doesn't heal by skipping steps. Life Coaches need ethics and morals. Selling happiness for such outrageous sums screams the real reason you do what you do.
I'm personally using a coach and have a membership that helps me manage a certain area of my life and it's honestly been such a good experience. I've come out with a deeper understanding of myself.
How does one distinguish from good life coaches vs bad?
I’m a life coach for life coaches. Send me money and I will train u up👍
The coach doing conversion therapy is disgusting. So sorry for the people who have been subjected to that
conversion therapy is teaching someone how to lie to themselves and not realize that's what it is. that is more properly called something else. I believe most of all of this is a part of psycological warfare against society. what secret goals are some of them following I ask myself.
LOL
My heart cries for Matt. So sorry
Lol, I know some of the coaches here. Funny business but I owe huge amount of gratitude to some coaches who made massive impact on my life. I equally know coaches who wouldn't be hired to do anything and they turn to coaching. I wonder if more regulation is the answer 🤔
These services should be available at no cost, like through volunteers, then you will get the honest ones that have nothing to gain by helping as oppose to profiteering
So how do those people buy food and put gas in the car if they spend their time volunteering?
As a psychology student at a local university, this is WILD.
9 months of “potential” training to become a life coach… with NO regulations- wow
A lot of PhD psychologist aren't that great at fixing ppl although I recognize all the hard work.
@idkanymore no you're right not everybody in the field is great at the job but I suppose you could say that about every job. But the regulated there's license they have to carry insurance. Clients and patients have resources in the ability to file complaints in a license legislated industry. Real life coach they can't even get their money back from these scammers. Scary Beyond scary that they're telling people to get off their medication because they have nine months of of a pyramid scheme training.
Edit in the fact that these nut jobs are pushing conversion therapy something that the UN has described as a form of mental torture and physical torture Beyond alarming.
Regulations are not the Answer. I don’t agree with these unqualified coaches
If you can’t remember the institution you attended for an “education,” then it’s probably not worth the time of day/and or money for that matter.
And it took her 9 months when it could be done in a few hours
Thank you shining some light on this shady industry
Life coaches are narcissists who want control over other peoples lives, ask yourself if you are capable of telling another adult human being how to live, most of us would say no unless we went to school for that. My narcissistic mother does life coaching and preys on young women around my age because she lost control of her children and needs new people to control
Very true. TH-cam is also full of "life coaches", mainly they are channels for abuse survivors. They target narcissistic abuse victims, often survivors of extreme abuse, to abuse them further and then enjoy their victims' suffering. Nothing is as exciting to a narcissist than a victim that's already been abused!
Coaches should not be providing advice. That’s not their role. It’s too bad there are so many bad actors out there.
Years ago when I read Tony Robbins books and listened to his tapes I felt that I got a lot of value from them and have a lot of respect for him
Wow! Awesome work Market Place - your team keeps upping the bar.
It's not just coaches giving this type of counseling, I attended Evangelical churches for 20 years and those leaders and lay people give 100 times worse advice to people, and if you don't take their direction they'll just pray your demons out.
And they’ll lay their hands on you.
Where they shouldn’t.
This whole industry is a sham. I audit automotive finance contracts and saw a credit application that said the applicant was a life coach. I checked her income and it said 1000 bucks a months. I don't wanna get coached by a professional making 1k a month lol
I wish the States would do investigative reporting like this...They're too busy telling us "Go to work and hurry home." 🤦♂️
RIGHT 👍🏼
This kind of thing works so perfectly because if you can't cure your depression by willpower, thinking positively and believing fully that you're cured, they can say that it's your fault, that you doubting it in itself is a sign you're not doing it right, and so the blame is never on the coach but on the person who couldn't magically fix their whole life
It's sad that there are people who are blaming themselves for the fact that they couldn't will away poverty or depression
with all the bad going on these days it would not be appropriate or realistic to be completely happy anyway. in order to do that you would have to ignore so much including what I wrote.
Good report. Thanks
Ouch. So many frauds
My son struggled with addition and was referred to a life coach. When my son visited me, I made an appetizer that he enjoyed and asked if he could take the leftovers. Of course I agreed. Next evening my son called to say how much his life coach enjoyed it asked my son if I would share the recipe; provided her email address. I sent it that night. Never heard back so I told my son to tell his life coach proper etiquette would be to respond with a thank you and that he needed a new life coach!!! 😡
thank you market place !!l I learned a lot from you
So sad. I want to give this guys hug 18:11.
Shocking!
Scammers by any other name!
Thanks for doing this investigation on life coach. My daughter has been doing life coaching and people are paying her thousands for her special seminars in mansions in the Orlando area. These seminars look like high priced pampering oh yeah along with her coaching services. She has now blocked me from her and my grandchildren. And only wants positive people in her life. I am worried about her.
The problem with the profession of "life coach" is not clearly defined. They are also not licensed or governed by a regulatory body. I know of two life coaches who only have BA degrees.
Just don't go to a life coach if you have depression or mental illness 🤦♂️🙄 life coaches and psychologists are practically the same price. That said, Canada should cover 5-10 visits to a licensed psychologist/psychiatrist per year. I think that would help a lot of people struggling with issues who can't afford the $200/hr rate.
Life coaches should be a thing focused on positive psychology, something that is hard to find in a therapist.
Psychiatry is covered under provincial health care, at least in Ontario. Also help referral numbers. I hope you get the help you need.
To be fair, I've been traumatized by registered medical social workers, therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health professionals just as much as life coaches and spiritual advisors. 😂 Just want to be honest with you. I have intersecting marginalized identities and I understand now that's why they all hurt me so much, I wasn't receiving patient centered or trauma informed care at all. It was all the stuff for privileged people which is like the worst treatment you can give to someone who ticks multiple marginalized boxes. I had so many conflicting messages and no representation. Therapy can be just as damaging as life coaches. It just depends on who is involved. It's good to know who you are before you seek care but mostly it's important to find someone who let's you be you.
The issue with mental health professionals is they can make life so much worse if you are considering self harm. Often their approach is unhelpful and traumatizing in my experience. Where as a life coach, if you get one that mostly just listens, validates you and reminds you what in life is worth living for, will not take that approach. They'll practice non judgmental witnessing. Many people need that. I need that. I need to express myself without worrying the cops will show up at my door since they're more likely to shoot me than help me. There is no one size fits all.
In Canada we don't have the luxury of switching from mental health professional to mental health professional because of our ineffective system. But if you have some cash, you can with life coaches. But neither of those options works if they won't let you be who you are. They have to give you the space to figure out what is best for you. Ultimately you are the one who has to live with your choices, only you can truly know what is best for you. And if you don't know now, with good support, you will know later. ♥ Lead with love ♥
I'm in Canada and have switched mental health professionals several times. Finding someone you are comfortable with is extremely important for success, Anyone struggling with mental health issues can get a list of treatment centers from their doctor. Many workplaces also offer a program that provides several free counselling sessions.
good perspective
I agree. That was my experience too. I rather that the schools teaching life coaching be held to a higher standard. If you think about it, medical aesthetics are not regulated in a lot of places, and people let these people use chemicals and lasers on their face.
The Macaroni guy looked like there was something wrong with him anyway. He had a Napoleon Dynamite thing going on.
Seeing the reporter take her "Life Coach Certification" test while shopping and trying on clothes really makes you think. The next time you want to get mad at someone for texting and driving, you need to check you're judgement at the door. They very well might be taking their "Life Coach" exam, so KEEP IT DOWN with that horn and show some respect for that future first responder 😉
Life coaches are those who can't find a job in the real world.
Hmm interesting life coach investigation 😙👍👍👍👍👍
As a life coach this is sickening, people should never be pressured to signing anything without being sure. 😣
Didn't get any response from Tim Hortons lady?
This is dangerous
There are some terrible grifters in this industry and no one regulating it with oversight. The ethics are absent and the harm caused to people is real.
Question is why are people falling for this? In a free market they have a choice and yet they go to something inferior, why? Why don't they chose to go to someone licensed? Somewhere the therapist community must ask this question and perhaps step up their marketing. There's also the cost aspect, the insurance and availability which all detracts from the final experience no matter how genuine.
7:05 I like how the life coach's response is delivered in a life coach's tone of speech.
what is a life coach? .......someone who cant find a job.
Next up. Why journeymen carpenters should be required to frame and work on homes Please and thank you.
I had a bad experience with "unregulated" life coaches. I ended up going for therapy afterwards just to heal from the abuse I endured from them. I am all for government regulation of life coaches. Many of them try to pull you into their other businesses such as MLM's. Don't fall for them. They're doing it to boost their egos, take away your power and make money.
Are there legitimate life coaching programs that teach a code of conduct, scope of practice, and cater to individuals who are truly interested in helping people. I definitely believe there is a gap between counseling and coaching. However, I’d expect a life coach to have a successful life themselves. When your life coach appears to need a life coach ( the woman whose office is a table at the local cafe ), you might want to get a different life coach.
There are indeed. And there is a regulated body to go through to become an accredited life coach. Either the ICF or the AC. Getting a credential takes years and a hundred plus hours of supervised training. As well as yearly continuing education. During my certification schooling we were given a lot of training on the boundaries between therapy and coaching.
Unfortunately many of these people who title themselves coches are making it difficult for legitimate coaches to market themselves.
For some reason I read the title as Live Roaches caught on camera. I was literally waiting through the whole video to see it only to realize the title actually says Life COACHES caught on camera...🤣🤦🏿♀️
🪳
I would definitely not go to a life coach if you are feeling depressed, grieving, constantly anxious, have had a traumatic experience or any other mental health related problems. Please go to a trained mental health therapist or see your doctor. Coaching can be great but they are not trained in mental health. I have had both a coach and psychologist for depression and trauma and a mental health professional is who to go to. Once you have worked through what you need to work through with your therapist(which can take time), then try coaching if you like.Fantastic investigation.
This so-called completely unregulated “profession” needs to be brought to accountability.
It has caused so much pain to people.
It is all about coaches coaching wannabe coaches how to become coaches who in turn go on to coach wannabe coaches how to become coaches.
If the life coach costs more than a good therapist, nix the life coach because you can find a therapist that does all the same things but better. Organizing your life? Healthy positivity? Troubleshooting your habits? Working on transforming your social life? Daily routines? A therapist already does all of that with more experience!!! So long as you find the right fit.
I've often thought of going to a life coach, I have career issues that I feel like would not be in the wheelhouse of a psychologist or therapist and self-esteem issues, but I've heard so many terrible stories of bad life coaches. I think the worst being one that ended coached person that was a fellow high school student and shortly after started dating them... and within months had married them only to divorce within weeks... and during couples counseling refused to participate in the meetings.
Please do Psychic medium next. Bunch of scammers out there.
These days, any one can be life coach, influencer, motivational speaker or be it an expert on any subject. This wortld specifically humans are getting absolutely disgusting and pathetic. 😭🙄😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
People have trauma because of the suffering they have done. But with every hardship, there's a lesson and every lesson must be applied because you can use the lesson you learn when that challenge comes again with you. Your thinking is applied to your behaviour you must learn how to adjust yourself.
the fact that people are on the look for a life coach is a sign they should not go to a 'life coach' but a psychologist. Because no one in their right mind would go to someone not from any recognized institutions for help with their life.
But, we now live in a serious problematic time where people are left without ressources of any kind, in a recession that is gonna and is hitting hard, where there is a waiting list of a year before seeing a psychologist and that is IF your problem is very serious and life threatening. The real problem is the lack of ressources to support the people because the government has lose control on this capitalist jungle where the people are becoming more and more just a number. So people try to find help in desperate ways...not in the right and secured way.
I could visit an escort service and feel better than "good" for a fraction of the cost of what "life coaches" charge.
Lmao at least you would be received the actual service 😂 life coaches are just Pinterest quotes they apply to everyone
I'm finding so many inept, narcissistic life coaches, spewing out their bad, unasked-for advice in every social situation. That said, if you've worked in the psychology/psychiatry and/or medical fields you will know that a substantial number of those licensed people are incompetent and should not be in practice. Life Coaches are worse, but the maybe only 40% of doctors and therapists are truly competent.
Life coaches should make bridges to eligible and professional people that can treat mental conditions.
Can they not be reported to the orders of psychology or social work of the province??
There's no depths ppl won't go to for money. How awful to take advantage of ppl that are in need of help....
NOOO NOT THE CONVERSION THERAPY….
I KNOW THAT LIFE COACH FRUITY LIKE JUST ACCEPT URSELF😭😭💀
Market place should have it's own channel
Life coach. Nonsense profession fleecing people.
I think we're confusing life coaching with therapy.
Life coaching looks more than just the brain. It addresses your health, fitness, family, career, and overall happy life. Life coaching isn't just about mental problems.
Then again, I went through Life Coaching years ago and yes I wouldn't recommend it
It’s sick what people do for money at the cost of others who need help.
How can we tell who’s there just for the money and fame and who’s there for the right reasons?
i think until its regulated, there's no way to tell. that's just my thoughts on it.
You could ask this question about anything.
Discernment
Great question. I think it really just comes down to a gut feeling about a person and just trusting your gut. If you feel uneasy about the person, back out. Trust your gut
Maybe if the wait list to see a therapist wasn’t 2 years long then these people wouldn’t have to turn to “life coaches” I’m sure most of the people who use them would rather get a therapist but don’t feel like waiting years.
Where do you live that it's a two year wait? There's immediate help available in my province and much of it is subsidised.
"I feel good!" James Brown
You can understand totally why this business thrives. Will power isn't able to be bought. Simply find weak/soft hysterical, drama queen types & promise them their wildest dreams. Here in Australia, it's the weight-loss crowds, followed by the "New Year's Resolution" losers (who want to stop smoking). Easy MONEY!!! 💵💰💸
Very true. Here in the UK it's the antidepressants crowd. No willpower? Take antidepressants. Worried about something, or had an arguement with someone? Take antidepressants. Weak and hysterical people - usually women - fall for this. Barely anyone around now that's not on antidepressants and tranquilizers. Easy money for the "doctors"...
Have you looked into the influencer life coaching space? Whew 😅 - I’m talking tens of thousands of dollars A MONTH - for proximity coaching … thanks for this report !
I don't live in Canada but have a question why life guard can't need to study psychology together?
I know someone who was fired by her employer, only to become a life coach immediately afterwards..
People are DISGUSTING!
He was not trauma informed. On one hand he was right when he said he couldn't treat anxiety, but he was wrong by treating it anyway. I think its important for the coach to share what additional training they have with their certification and limitation. Unless they have a psychology degree or a counselling credential they should not treat any form of illness. Just stick to goal setting and find out the block. If the block is traumatic, work with the therapist.
Well if you say you will go to A, B, or C but you are afraid of change or not willing to commit change you will never get away from depression but if you accept risk and that risk or hardship give you a solution to achieve peace of mind you must deal with it. You get depressed because you keep thinking the same thing and have no change. You should change the way you think and try something else to see the solution. STOP FORCING THAT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUIT FOR YOU.
Life coaching helps others to accomplish goals. We are not Therapist in any manor. Have a goal you wish to reach? We can help you get there by helping others figure out a path for themselves while keeping them accountable. This is coaching.
I am a life coach for life coaches. Give me money and I will teach u too
You misspelled 'manner'. You're a life coach who can't spell? Interesting.
For that money, I'd rather see a licensed, genuinely educated psychologist. At least then you have a layer of protection if they are unprofessional
I think I found my new career path
Great issue this covers. Modern life is so complex that we rely on religion, astrology, psychiatrists, self- help,, and life coach.
Be your own life coach.🎉

In speaking of self harm the qualified expert in the field says the coach should have jumped on that subject right away. I would have thought it would have been better to ease into it. If you ask for too much too soon isn't it more likely they will clam up and get defensive, possibly evading the subject later? Isn't it better to let that experience talk about it in their own time and pace during the conversation? And if they don't expand upon it during the session it can be queried at the end with the appropriate recommendations for people highly qualified with suicide to best address the client's needs. Once something is vital we must exercise the greatest care in approaching it. She probably knows this but was worried that an inexperienced life coach is likely to skip over a risky topic like this.
Whatever your heart tells you to want to be you must go for it. It is your freedom to achieve happiness for yourself. Don't be mean for what your heart tells you or else you will suffer. If you are scared of what other people tell you that is out of your control. But if you focus on what makes you happy and let them be because you know that you have your own choice and freedom to achieve happiness for yourself. If you are focusing on what makes you happy the state of your thinking will drive you into positive behaviour and you will have more confidence in yourself.
We care about you, Matt!
they should make the counselor, psychiatrist, etc.. more affordable then these kind of folks will faze out.
If you are a good talker, you can be a life coach
