and the rise of #healthcoaching
It is for this reason that Health Coaching is a rapidly emerging field of preventive, complementary medical care that today’s medical system so desperately needs.
Health coaches use a motivational approach that draws on decades of behavioural science, and has shown that behavioural change is possible, and sustainable, when linked to personal values, beliefs, strengths and priorities.
ALL #healthcareworkers:
specialists, doctors, nurses, personal trainers, dieticians, naturopaths, acupuncture, health coaches
ALL share the same, essential characteristic … they want to help people find their best health, and their best life.
The important distinction between them, and health coaches, is HOW this is accomplished.
How do you facilitate healthy behaviour changes in clients, or patients?
How do you alter the way a person operates and functions in the world, and around the things they organise their life?
Do you (A) simply tell people what to do, and what not to?
This is what we’re used to, and is what doctors, dieticians, physiotherapists, naturopaths and personal trainers do in their very well respected, expert roles with clients and patients.
They tell them what, and what not to do, in a clinical setting and over a relatively brief period of time.
The goal? That the client or patient uses this knowledge to better themselves, and improve their health for the rest of their lives.
Obviously more is required. We live in a society that (often) respects not listening to others (did your kid not talk to the stranger? good!) and are ambivalent about being told what to do about our health.
Be honest … we all know what to do, however if information was enough, Google would solve the world’s chronic disease epidemic!
