HOW IS A LIFE COACH DIFFERENT FROM A THERAPIST?

Coaching, therapy and meditation are all completely different by definition. A therapist or psychologist deals with emotions related to past problems in order to help people move forward, while a life coach mentors people first in order to become the person that they need to be to reach their goals, than helps build an action plan and guides every step of the way until the goals are reached.
