When To Find A Life Enrichment Coach

By Beryl Dalton


It's easy to figure out who to see if one has a single, obvious problem in life dogging all their efforts. People who often find themselves waking up on the floor of the neighborhood bar should most likely be steered toward a substance abuse counselor. A life enrichment coach can be employed when it isn't so clear just what the problem is.

While a professional doing this important work may have entered the field with a specialty, they generally have an intuitive sense for bring several fields together into a holistic unit. They might not be dietary specialists, but they will be aware of the impact diet has on attitude and overall health. Often it will be time to make significant changes in diet, even small things like drinking more water or eating fewer, smaller meals.

Fitness and diet are inevitably related, though different people will draw that line in different places. Some people need to spend a half year on the treadmill before listening to advice that they need to cut down on cheeseburgers. Then there are those who might need a yoga program, or simply to walk a mile each morning to get some sunlight with their workout.

Joy can be elusive when the home life is suffering. Often family problems are expressions of old family curses, which typically turn out to be nothing more than ingrained behavior patterns that cannot be recognized except by a trained eye. Many find themselves in bad marriages, or in conflict with teenage children. Many also suffer stress with their parents, especially as age and infirmity enter the picture.

Dating success just might be the number one area for seeking help. Dating and single life is so often an area of acute pain, so much so that the rest of our lives can seem flat if there is a lack of success here. Heartbreak afflicts anyone. Proper coaching can help with everything and anything, from ice breaking lines to networking, from wardrobe to help with arousal.

Aside from love, wealth is perhaps the other big trouble area in life, and some people had better get their financial house in order before doing anything else. One should not confuse a coach with a tax accountant or professional financial consultant. The former is best at addressing broad based issues of wealth repulsion and attraction, attitudes toward work, and the like. Best leave the real number crunching to the accountants.

Many people need emotional healing, and their sessions for coaching might seem like psychotherapy. In fact, quite a few coaches began as licensed counselors, giving them a certain base of professional expertise to draw upon. They might be able recognize an addiction problem, or the signs of childhood abuse.

Psychological counseling is typically directed at people who are suffering. Coaching, by contrast, is generally for those who at least do not self-diagnose as troubled, but who want more. It can be the best choice for millions.
