Study of Soul or Mind?
FreeDictionary.com defines psychology as "the science that deals with mental processes and behaviors." The actual definition as derived from the Latin terms that make up the word mean "the study of the soul or mind".
I believe the term psychology has changed over the years and has often become very different from the study of the soul or the mind.
Life coaching is not very different from psychology in that psychology focuses on the self and making changes within yourself and life coaching helps you make changes in your life situations to make your self happier and more fulfilled. Many life coaches also focus on inner change to bring about outer change - including me.
There need be no competition between someone in psychology and someone in life coaching. Often the two work hand in hand to assist people with finding what they truly want in life and a means to get it. It seems to me also that we are all drawn to different ways of growth - none being better or worse. Just different.
