Transition

Psychotherapy (also called talk therapy) is a noble professional where individuals may recommend choices and present information to remediate mental health issues, over a long period of time. Therapy often explores family-of-origin issues in-depth, including root causes of behavior, including self-destructive behavior. Psychiatry follows a medical model to create inner strength to overcome addictions and other self-destructive behaviors. Counseling is often shorter-term, focusing on specific, current challenges or situations. Consulting offers expertise in certain disciplines. Consultants are considered trusted advisors who freely offer advice and solve problems through specialized services. Come and learn how coaching is distinguished from therapy, psychiatry, counseling, consulting and coaxing, while experiencing each (during mentoring) as a distinct set of skills so you are clear about coaching to never mistake one for the other, as a practicing coach.

Estrangement

Estrangement is currently an epidemic in several countries. The recent research of Dr. Joshua Coleman estimates approximately one-in-four families are facing some kind of familial discord, parental alienation and other painful forms of estrangement. Decades ago, Dr. Pauline Boss researched ambiguous loss, which is a hallmark of the many unresolved elements of estrangement, similar to the emotional torture of times of war, abduction or similar forms of disappearances (when someone is missing from your life and you do not know if a person is dead or alive). If someone is fortunate enough to be unfamiliar with the emotions associated with estrangement, they can underestimate the toll this agonizing experience can take on people, at the receiving end of someone they love going “no contact,” (with or without an explanation). Dr. Dee Dee Mann has endured over a decade of several forms of estrangement and has written several original coaching methods that will be taught in this track.
