Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a life coach and a therapist? Well wonder no more, Becoming a Life Coach: A Complete Workbook for Therapists is the book you need to figure it all out. Now finally a book that breaks it all down for you in black and white.

The book compares:
* the role of the therapist to that of the life coach
* the role of the patient to that of the client
* the service of the mentally ill to that of the mentally healthy
* treatment to collaboration
* the differences in professional standing between these two endeavors.

Using real coaching exercises, the book teaches therapists everything they need to know to start and maintain a successful coaching practice. It includes information about necessary skills, tips on integrating coaching and therapy, business models, marketing advice, and more.

Today many therapists seek to help clients achieve personal and professional goals and navigate life changes successfully-a variety of practice called life coaching. This book offers a comprehensive strategy professionals can use to incorporate life coaching into their practices. In simple, accessible language it makes clear exactly what happens in each discipline, what the differing assumptions are about the needs of the client and the methods of the practitioner in each case, and what differing goals each aims to achieve.

Don’t let the title fool you. Although it is written for therapists, this book could be as useful to the layman/client as to the therapist/practitioner. Even the life coach can benefit from this useful informative book.
