How is Embodiment Coaching different from Therapy?

An Embodiment Coaching Session

Aims to identify your holistic health goals in order to heal patterns of emotional dysregulation and to support you in expanding into desired states of being (i.e. states of joy, wholeness, abundance, etc.)

  • Present and future oriented - Explores your current patterns of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn that are keeping you stuck and teaches you evidenced based tools for nervous system regulation to bring the brain and body back into a state of health, joy, and balance

  • Uses psychoeducation that integrates neuroscience, psychology, and yoga principles to teach science backed cognitive and somatic strategies for managing stress so you can embody your most authentic, joyful self and create your own personal paradise

  • Improves self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-compassion through building emotional intelligence and self regulation skills

  • Teaches communication, conflict resolution, and healthy boundary setting

  • Not covered by insurance, clients pay out of pocket

  • Proactive and preventative - focuses more on teaching clients who are mentally exhausted how to live more meaningful, purposeful, and self-actualized lives

  • Both are person centered

  • Both take a biopsychosocial approach to understanding and improving health and wellness

  • Both empower women to discover and use their voice to speak their truth

  • Both aim to teach tools for social and emotional learning growth

  • Both incorporate psychoeducation to build awareness of body, mind, spirit

Similarities

Between Coaching and Therapy Sessions

Therapy Session

Aims to diagnose mental disorder(s) and treat patient’s symptoms that are causing dysfunction

  • Generally more past oriented - Explores and heals past childhood issues to bring unconscious limiting beliefs to conscious awareness

  • Uses DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) to teach self-regulation and self-compassion skills

  • Uses CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to identify, challenge, and reframe irrational thought and behavioral patterns and shift unhealthy patterns of communication, conflict resolution, and codependency

  • Covered by most insurance, patients may pay out of pocket if not covered

  • Generally more reactive in responding to clients experiencing mental health crisis, but can be proactive and preventative once client is no longer in crisis
