Why right now I'm choosing therapy, over coaching

from FRAZZLED

In this episode of FRAZZLED, I'm talking about why I'm advocating therapy over coaching right now, and why as a coach, that makes me feel uncomfortable.I've worked with coaches in some form for the last 25 years, and yes, I got sucked into 'coaches always need coaches' narrative. I've spent, and wasted, tens of thousands on my own coaches over the last 13 years since I left my in-house role, and some of them, I'd never work with ever again.  Some I got no value from at all, some of them I ended up being the coach, and some of them were not coaches at all.I've been working with a therapist for the last year, it's given me my life back, and right now, with the world of work as it is, and stress, chronic stress, chronic illness and burnout rising, I wouldn't trust a lot of coaches right now to be able to coach in a way that's needed.Great coaching and great coaches, are amazing!  Coaching is also designed for clients with capacity, not those on the brink of, or coming through burnout.  And yet I know that can change.  And I know it, because the coaches I've trained are truly making a difference with and for their clients.If coaching isn't burnout-informed, I'm not recommending it.Kelly#Burnout #Coaching #BurnoutCoaching #PerformanceCoachingwww.kellyswingler.com
