Life Management Coaching
Struggling to juggle life’s demands? Coaching offers short-term, solution-focused support to help you set goals, regain balance, and prevent burnout in work, home, or personal life.
Life management coaching is for the client who is experiencing life stressors but is temporarily struggling to cope in a healthy manner. The therapist helps the client set practical goals and develop skills to achieve healthy life balance in a relatively short amount of time. Often, a few corrections can help prevent chronic frustration, exhaustion and burnout which can lead to depression, anxiety and destructive behaviors. Life coaching is typically brief consultation as it is very direct, task oriented and focused on problem solving. Some clients only need two to three sessions to talk through their circumstances and gain new and fresh perspective. Other clients need to bring balance to multiple areas of life such as work, marriage and parenting and therefore require additional sessions.
What to Expect
If it’s your first time pursuing therapy, you may be hesitant to commit to the process. New and unfamiliar experiences often create uncertainty.
However, therapy (commonly referred to as counseling) isn’t new or unusual. Counseling has existed as long as humans have walked the earth. Whether it’s from a friend, relative, mentor or religious figure, people look to fellow human beings for support.
A licensed therapist provides professional, specialized guidance and interventions.
The initial session involves gathering information about current and past struggles. Clients leave the first session with a preliminary action plan and homework exercises (homework is given after all sessions).
The second session involves a review of homework, further assessment of unproductive thinking patterns and education on developing healthy perceptions of self, others and circumstances.
By the third meeting, clients often begin feeling more confident and equipped to address the deeper (root) issues that are fueling unwanted emotions and behaviors. It is recommended that clients complete 3 consecutive weekly sessions to quickly facilitate change and generate hope that things can improve. Sessions will then be scheduled as needed.
