Some lovely thoughts Evgeny, on a topic I think about and talk about a lot.

My additional thoughts:

- Coaching is therapeutic. Therein will forever lie the rub.

- I don't recall seeing in your article the frequency of sessions. Generally, in my experience, therapy takes pace at a more frequent cadence - weekly? - versus coaching which might often be more like monthly.

- One of the foundations of my business - and theme through the podcasts - is that it is up to each practioner to delineate and articulate their own boundaries. Binary lines are helpful in training, but much like competencies, are often held with more nuance and sophistication the more we practice.

- Last, quick plug for my own conversation with Laurence, which many folks have loved and was featured in this quarter's Coaching Perspectives magazine from the AC:

This is a super interesting and helpful comparison. Its really hard not to be cynical. Im currently in training for psychotherapy and actively chose against coaching training even though i find both valuable, i wanted to focus on psychotherapy for myself....

My own hope is that I'll find a way to go through psychoanalysis training at C Jung Institute one day! I'm fully focused on coaching, but I do think that solid therapeutic training will help me coach better. Thanks for sharing :)
