Great summary, Kim. One of the challenges a coach faces is recognizing that a client really needs a therapist, rather than a coach, at that time. Broaching that can be delicate and not well received, because for many people therapy carries a stigma. It triggers their “There’s something wrong with me” belief.

We all want to move forward, and we would prefer not to let the “monsters” out of the closet. As you know, we really can’t move forward until we’ve stared the monsters in the eye and made peace with them.
