Working with a life coach and self-directed healing (SDH) practitioner can help you create a more fulfilling and meaningful life by helping you identify and achieve your goals, overcome obstacles, and develop a greater sense of self-awareness, balance, and personal growth.
Coaching and Self Directed Healing are different approaches that complement each other well. Coaching helps clients identify their goals and work towards achieving them, while SDH helps clients process and release emotional pain and blockages preventing them from reaching their goals and living a truly fulfilling life. They are the perfect partners.
What is Life Coaching?
Coaching is a process that transports people from where they are to where they want to be. It’s like having a Personal Trainer for your mind and it’s one of the fastest-growing industries on earth today.
There is always a strong focus on the action you can take right now and the aim is to improve performance.
A great way to think of a life coach is as an action-oriented mentor who can help you access and reach your potential. They will focus on what’s in your life right now, what you ideally want to achieve, and how that gap can be navigated.
A life coach is trained to help individuals identify their goals, develop a plan for achieving them, and overcome the obstacles that may be preventing them from reaching their full potential. By providing feedback, support, and guidance, a life coach can help individuals gain clarity, focus, and confidence, leading to greater success in their personal and professional lives.
A big challenge to be aware of in the coaching industry is that there are no regulations or standards of care for life coaches. Anyone can call themselves a coach. This means that a person must do their due diligence before signing up to work with a life coach.
It’s important to ensure they has received thorough training through a recognised certified body. Plus, I’d recommend checking testimonials, awards, collaborations, and social contributions.
Ask yourself, are they demonstrating a good level of success? What do their clients say?
What is Self Directed Healing?
Self Directed Healing is a revolutionary healing modality, that simultaneously works on all aspects of a person’s being causing powerful and transformational results.
It’s a simple, fast, and measurable process that identifies the root cause of problems and shifts deep blocks that enable you to achieve and sustain emotional health and well-being.
This modality releases deep emotional pain, like grief, trauma, anger, fear, stress (and more) as well as limiting beliefs, energetically through the physical body and the conscious mind.
Leading to a greater sense of inner balance, well-being, and purpose.
Self Directed Healing is revolutionising the way we realise our potential and dramatically increasing the speed that this occurs. As well as working with your current pain and challenges, we can access early childhood emotions, beliefs, and trauma by working with your ‘inner child’ and processing old wounds and pain, back from when they originated.
A Self Directed Healing practitioner is trained to help individuals identify and release emotional blockages that may be affecting their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. These blockages may be caused by many things including past traumas, grief, disconnection, emotions, or limiting beliefs that are holding individuals back from living to their fullest potential.
Bridging the Gap
A session with a life coach will feel a lot different than one with an SDH practitioner. Coaching provides actions, planning, structure, and accountability while SDH is more about consciously processing emotional energy, releasing deep pain, and self-sabotaging patterns.
“Coaching sessions are more forward-focused and action orientated, whereas, in SDH sessions our conversation is usually determined by how they’re feeling and what people or events may have triggered their feelings.”
In recent years, more and more people are seeing the benefits of working with life coaches and SDH practitioners for their personal growth and development, and are turning to them for help in solving their problems and making positive, focused steps toward their goals.
“A coach looks at your present to help you create the future you desire, while an SDH practitioner works with your past to help you manage your present, enabling a more positive future path”
Whether you are seeking to overcome challenges, develop better emotional balance, achieve your goals, or simply live a more fulfilling life, working with a life coach and SDH practitioner can help you fast-track unlocking your full potential and achieving your dreams.
