The virtual world of life coaching with Skype, teleconferences, and webinars has become the norm for many as they reach out to the world of it clients.
There are many who still prefer conventional doctor-patient appointments. Critics may suggest that the new cultures of coaching and online communities are not as specialized or qualified as meeting face-to-face with a therapist who may be thousands of miles away. Coaching may be expensive and not covered by insurance. Patients may not be ready to deal with their emotions or work on themselves mentally or physically and need the professional help of a psychiatrist with medication and with need regular visits of doctors who see them to make diagnoses.
Many people now prefer the convenience and instant access to their coach as long as they have a phone or laptop. Many people have become bolder, and empowered, and improved their career opportunities, finances, and personal relationships while working on personal goals and having someone to be accountable to as they integrate a life coach into their lives.
Those who have tried the conventional methods for years with prescriptions may now be reaching out to try different modalities while resolving these conflicts. Coaches develop relationships challenge, support, and help their clients work through specific goals while getting the results they need. Through homework, feedback, and standing in the gap they help their clients work on specific areas of their lives as they find clarity, heal, regain control of their lives and find a sense of well-being.
Actively taking a role in our own mental and physical well-being and having choices, tools and prescription-free is what I choose and believe many will in the future as they use the services of a life coach
