Wellness Coaching
The field of Wellness Coaching can provide important insights into how best to move forward in conjunction with an examination of environment.
What is coaching?
There are any number of definitions of coaching but a useful one from W. Timothy Gallwey, from 2000 is this:
Coaching is "the art of creating an environment, through conversation and a way of being, that facilitates a process by which a person can move toward desired goals in a fulfilling manner."
For more information on training in Wellness Coaching as a field see, e.g., WellCoaches.
The difference between therapy and wellness coaching may be described this way: Therapy brings dysfunction to function; wellness coaching optimizes function.
What does a focus on "Wellness Coaching" as basis for helping the distressed consciousness do? It restarts our campaigns to do so, avoiding the "turf" wars of psychology and psychiatry. Or provides a way for them to braid.
