Understanding The Holistic Life Coach

By Lila Berger


There are many stories of people who have been through difficult situations in their lives. Yet somehow these people were able to rise above their circumstances and help others in the process. A holistic life coach is someone who is able to look at all areas of life as a whole. They understand that everything is connected.

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.

When the mind is affected in this manner, one cannot think effectively. Staying in a job that one does not like might show that a person is broken in other areas as well. They might be connected to family or friends who might expect them to stay in a profession they do not like. So whether they are making enough money or not, they are not happy.

Being in a job that one does not like affects the mind which can cause a person to make poor health choices. A person might turn to food for comfort since the food will not shout at them or be disappointed in them. They might also decide to stay out late for drinks and have fun as a way of getting away from it all.

What this person may not realize is that the choices that they are making come from their emotions. If a person feels that they are not in control of their situation, the emotions take over. Depending on how a person feels at any given moment, they might decide to eat unhealthy foods and make poor decisions which can affect their health.

After a few years of this emotional roller coaster ride, she decided to work with a coach named Amanda, so that she could gain some perspective on what to do. She was afraid of confronting her parents, but this was something that she had to do. With the help of Amanda, she was able to make the necessary changes in her life and still be at peace with her parents.

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.

This is one of many examples of how a holistic life coach can assist a person in making the right changes. Many times a person might have to come to terms with how they are living their lives, and if they are living up to their full potential. The right coach can help them put things into proper perspective.
