Choice Border Line

This document compares and contrasts therapy and coaching. It discusses four main distinctions: 1) Therapy focuses on the past and problem-solving, while coaching focuses on the future and setting goals. 2) Clients generally seek therapy to "fix" problems, while seeking coaching to create possibilities and get more out of life. 3) Therapy involves an expert-patient relationship, while coaching is a collaborative partnership. 4) Therapists have more limitations generating new clients due to stigma, while coaching faces no such stigma. The document provides an overview of how therapists can transition to coaching by utilizing transferable skills like listening while adjusting assumptions to focus on possibilities rather than problems.
