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 Patrick Martin, a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist based in Covina, California.

Enjoy!

Topics Covered:

• How Patrick balances full time employment, contractual work, and his private practice
• An Introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Patrick’s strategy and mindset during the initial intake assessment
• The biggest challenges Patrick has faced in his therapy work

Notable Quote

“That’s really what CBT is: it’s teaching us how to pause, be mindful, and really think about our thinking, which isn’t something that we’re really taught in society or growing up. […] Often times we just give a green light to any thoughts that come across our mind as being valid without really even challenging them or doing any reality testing.”
