When people have that one enormous weakness, clear as a wart on a nose, it is not difficult to recognize it for what it is. However hard it might be to deal with a drinking problem, wake up soused in enough gutters and it promptly becomes clear that this is just what the problem is. A life enrichment coach is for those whose issues don't quite stand out like a horn the middle of one's forehead, or for whom the issue isn't unhappiness so much as a failure to thrive according to one's dreams.
While a professional doing this important work may have entered the field with a specialty, they generally have an intuitive sense for bring several fields together into a holistic unit. They might not be dietary specialists, but they will be aware of the impact diet has on attitude and overall health. Often it will be time to make significant changes in diet, even small things like drinking more water or eating fewer, smaller meals.
Fitness and diet are inevitably related, though different people will draw that line in different places. Some people need to spend a half year on the treadmill before listening to advice that they need to cut down on cheeseburgers. Then there are those who might need a yoga program, or simply to walk a mile each morning to get some sunlight with their workout.
It's hard to have a happy life if things aren't right with one's own family, and many people are so deeply nested into habits passed down generation after generation that they could use an informed outsider's advice. First, of course, is our relations with spouses and children, relations which rarely seem perfect. Relations with our own parents, though, can also become a source of tension as they grow older and suffer the strains of old age.
It should be no surprise that one of the most common areas for consultation in life enrichment is dating. This can be an area of extremely high emotional stakes, where the ego and heart are almost always exposed. So many of us need help with anything from pickup up lines to curing a roving eye and coming to appreciate who we already have. Many need advice in everything from wardrobe to building an attractive online profile for dating sites.
Aside from love, wealth is perhaps the other big trouble area in life, and some people had better get their financial house in order before doing anything else. One should not confuse a coach with a tax accountant or professional financial consultant. The former is best at addressing broad based issues of wealth repulsion and attraction, attitudes toward work, and the like. Best leave the real number crunching to the accountants.
Emotional counseling is another important need, and for many, life enrichment verges upon psychotherapy. Many counselors have some form of psychotherapy degree as a basis for their more generalized careers. They have the requisite training in how to deal with grief, with addiction, with all the small specific things that can keep people from rising to their full potentials.
Generally, a psychotherapist treats the truly suffering, whereas coaching is for those blocked from achieving positive dreams. They represent a path for those seeking greatness. Making a call might be making the right move.
