From Therapy to coaching, and The power of Positive Psychology with Cristiane Correa

 In the first part of my conversation with Cristiane, a Life Coach, she opens up about her inspiring journey. Cristiane moved to the U.S. at just 16 years old, and her passion for understanding human behavior began early. After her parents' divorce when she was only three, she started therapy, a healing process that not only helped her overcome childhood trauma but also planted the seed for her career. Remarkably, the same therapist who guided her as a child still supports her today.   During college, a class on positive psychology confirmed her calling to help people, and inspiration from The Inner Game and her mentors taught her that to be a good Life Coach, you must "walk the talk." Cristiane also reflects on how perceptions of therapy have shifted, especially since COVID, when more people began to recognize the value of having someone truly listen. She explains the differences between therapy and life coaching, shares experiences with skeptical clients, and discusses how resistance often plays a role in personal growth.
