My wife and I need some help with our blended family. We see that you offer coaching, and we really need some counseling- we think. What's the difference? We just need some help!
The best example I can think of is an adult playing softball, a Saturday afternoon, with the company softball team. He/She strikes out, repeatedly, and basically has a terrible experience that day. Counseling would talk with this person about the experience: "How did striking out feel?" " What memories of your childhood did it bring to mind?"
Although these are great questions, and I highly value counseling, this is not what we do at The Blended and Step Family Resource Center. We do coaching. Coaching is more direct and solution oriented: "Hold your head down a bit, and look at the ball; raise your elbow as you hold the bat...."
Do you see the difference? Both are great, but blended and step families need help now, and we're here to direct and guide you, to be your coach, with our proven experience and knowledge, to successfully guide your blended family.
