yes, my t is trained in coaching. that's why i joke about the "master" part. i think coaching is more about setting goals and working toward them in an intentional way. they help you break things down into manageable steps to get where you want. it is more focused on the present than the past and is more positive in orientation rather than focusing on the negatives in one's life. i think combining that with therapy can be good. we're not really doing coaching now because i can't due to my health but when i did it in the past i found it helpful.
