The life coach therapy is more than just guiding the individual to self realization and acceptance. Life coach by profession is more of a guidance counselor, seeing to it that the problems causing the stress to an individual is not only handled properly, but looked upon as a positive sign that these problems are and will always be present, and that the individual's responsibility for better stress management is to include the problems into daily routine.
This life coach therapy is a co-active approach wherein the one helping is also immersed in the situation as if he was actually part of it.
This is needed to understand the level of healing a troubled person needs for recovery. Instead of just being a spectator to the events of the individual, a life coach would actually inculcate the way the same stressors trouble the client.
