  • create personal fulfillment
  • vision, "How?" "What next?"
  • client wants to move toward goals
  • relieve pain, symptoms
  • restore functioning
    history, "Why?"
  • patient wants to move away from pain
  • learning, educational, practical model
  • life transitions, personal growth, human relations
  • paradigm of possibility
  • medical/clinical model
  • diagnosable illnesses
  • paradigm of pathology
  • coach as co-creator; a partnership of equals
  • therapist as expert; client as patient

Relationship Coaching listens, cares and teaches the 'tools' that we all need to improve communication, connection, trust and respect in our interpersonal relationships... while breaking free from negative behavior patterns and relationship ruts.
