Get the Right Support: Coaching, Mentoring, or Therapy? Here’s How to Choose Without Second-Guessing

August 26, 20244 min read

Hey beautiful glow getter,

So, you’re standing at a crossroads, right? You’ve got all these dreams, these desires to be the best version of yourself, but you’re not sure if you need a coach, a mentor, or maybe a therapist to help get you there. It’s like standing in front of a packed dessert buffet—each option looks good, but which one is really going to hit the spot?

Let’s chat about it. Pull up a chair, grab your fave drink, and let’s break it down.

Coaching: The Result Getter’s GPS

Think of coaching like your GPS when you're driving. You know your destination - maybe it’s better boundaries, finally quitting the people-pleasing, or stepping into your power. A coach helps map out the route, keeps you on track, and maybe even reroutes you when you hit a detour (because, hello, life happens). Coaches are all about setting goals, creating strategies, and holding you accountable.

Strengths:

  • Coaches are action-oriented. They’ll push you to move forward and achieve those goals you’ve been dreaming about.

  • You’ll get a roadmap with clear steps to get where you want to be.

Downfalls:

  • If you're struggling with deep emotional wounds or past trauma, coaching alone might feel like putting a Band-Aid on a broken bone. It’s great for future-forward movement but doesn’t always dig deep into what’s been holding you back.

Therapy: The Deep-Sea Diver of Healing

Now, therapy is like diving deep into the ocean of your past. It’s all about understanding your history - why you feel the way you do, where those wounds come from, and how to heal them. Think of a therapist as a deep-sea diver, exploring the depths of your emotions and helping you make sense of the currents that have shaped your life.

Strengths:

  • Therapists are trained to help you process trauma, mental health issues, and emotional pain.

  • They help you understand your patterns, inner childhood wounds, and how your past impacts your present.

Downfalls:

  • Therapy is more focused on healing the past than pushing you towards future goals. It’s about getting you back to a baseline of well-being, but it might not give you the action steps you crave.

Mentoring: The Wise Guide on Your Journey

And then there’s mentoring. Picture a wise guide walking alongside you on your journey, dropping wisdom bombs and sharing their own experiences. Mentors challenge you, encourage you, and give you the tools to navigate life’s twists and turns. It’s like having a more experienced friend who’s been there, done that, and wants to help you do it better.

Strengths:

  • Mentors offer a blend of guidance, support, and a gentle nudge in the right direction.

  • They bring experience and personal insights that can help you avoid pitfalls and make informed decisions.

Downfalls:

  • Mentoring can sometimes feel less structured, especially if you’re someone who thrives on clear plans and objectives.
