Welcome to another episode of The Coach’s Circle Podcast!

Our show is all about showing you everything the world of coaching has to offer–what it is, what it isn’t, and whether it might be the right career choice for you.

Through our conversations with professionals in a variety of different mental health and wellness fields, you’ll gain valuable, real-world insight into their careers and consider how their experiences might impact your own career choices. Our interviews will feature coaches, therapists, counselors, personal trainers, and other professionals who incorporate coaching into their practices. Our hope is that these varied perspectives will help you come to understand exactly the type of coach you were meant to be.

Today’s special guest is Laura Cross, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She is the owner of a group private practice called Individual and Relationship Therapy Center in Denver, Colorado.

Enjoy!

Topics Covered:

• Why Laura left a 20-year career in corporate America
• The challenges of making the jump from employee to entrepreneur
• How Laura decided between therapy and coaching at the outset of her career
• Drawing the boundaries between coaching and therapy

Notable Quote

“Self-regulation — being able to work through your emotions by yourself — is a myth. Research tells us this too. Self-regulation is actually because they’ve had positive experiences of co-regulation, they’ve internalized it, and its become a resource. But if you’ve never had positive relationship experiences, then your brain doesn’t know how to form them moving forward. And so I found that I wanted to be on the earlier side of this.”
