When people have that one enormous weakness, clear as a wart on a nose, it is not difficult to recognize it for what it is. However hard it might be to deal with a drinking problem, wake up soused in enough gutters and it promptly becomes clear that this is just what the problem is. A life enrichment coach is for those whose issues don't quite stand out like a horn the middle of one's forehead, or for whom the issue isn't unhappiness so much as a failure to thrive according to one's dreams.
A person who does this for a living might have a specialty, but should have a good sense of the holistic. Without being a licensed dietitian, there should be an awareness of how diet affects health and mood. Sometimes it will be necessary to shake things up, taking on or even abandoning vegetarianism for instance.
Diet is intimately associated with fitness, though it can take some coaching to determine where to mark the line. There are those who need to be told that it is time to give up the daily pack of cigarettes. There are those who might be better off taking karate to work off, or to discipline, underlying aggression, or to become more confident.
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.
It should be no surprise that one of the most common areas for consultation in life enrichment is dating. This can be an area of extremely high emotional stakes, where the ego and heart are almost always exposed. So many of us need help with anything from pickup up lines to curing a roving eye and coming to appreciate who we already have. Many need advice in everything from wardrobe to building an attractive online profile for dating sites.
If it isn't love, quite often the problem is money, with a dire need for financial advice a prerequisite to any other form of success. Typically there will be a distinct difference between what life coaching does and that which can better be done by an accountant or true financial analyst. But an accountant might not be the right person to ferret out underlying failings in one's general attitude toward wealth, including all the little ways people drive it away.
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.
As a matter of emphasis, a psychotherapist treats those struggling to end a condition of suffering, to come up to even. Now there is an option for those looking to rise above mediocrity and seize their full potential. A good coach, therefore knows how to do a lot more than hold hands, but to inspire.
