Understanding The Holistic Life Coach

By Lila Berger


A holistic life coach has the ability to help a person change their life by looking at every aspect of it. Everyone has to work, take care of their health, and interact with others among other things. This type of coaching takes all of these areas and more into account so that a person will have the tools that are necessary to reach their goals.

To illustrate, one can think about a hypothetical person named Debbie. This young woman grew up in a loving environment that also had order, discipline and structure. Her parents knew from day one what she was going to do with her life. They wanted her to go to school to become a medical doctor, just like her father.

In spite of all this, something is missing from their lives. They are not sure what it is, but they are not as fulfilled as they hoped they would be. This is due to the fact that their parents told them what profession they should get into and so they are not sure about what they really want. They are afraid to leave their job because they do not know where to turn.

As a result of this frustration, this individual might become stressed and out of balanced. Some people in this situation might turn to drinking or some other kind of substance abuse. This not only affects the mind, but the body as well as the spirit. Others might simply decide not to care about the quality of their work or what happens as a result of not caring.

As a child, Debbie always dreamed of traveling the world and writing about her experiences in a book. However, she never got the kind of emotional support she needed from her parents. They did not directly criticized her, but they would gently tell her that she was being unrealistic. This is one of the main reasons why she was resentful of them but she did not hate them.

There are some people who might decide to speak to someone who might specialize in a particular area of well being. This can work for a while, but if one area broken it also means that other areas might be broken as well. When a person receives coaching from someone who looks at all of life's areas, then one is able to see how everything fits together.

When a person gets the coaching they need, they will be able to get a objective view of their situation. This is important because many times they will only see a particular situation from one dimension. A situation can look much brighter than it seems when looked at from a different view.

A holistic life coach can help a person understand how all the major areas of their life are connected. Sometimes it takes someone with an objective view to show a person things they might not see on a day to day basis. When one is able to make sense of their situation, they can use the right tools to move in the direction of their choice.
