0:00.0	Hi, my name is John Kim and I'm a therapist who went through his own
0:06.7	rebirth. I share my feelings and revelations. I believe in casual or
0:11.0	clinical and with you instead of at you I come unrehearsed on
0:15.9	purpose because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated. Lots of people
0:21.6	asking me what to look for in a life coach or a therapist.
0:25.0	I don't really, I know they're different obviously, but when it comes to what to look for I think they're the same and these are three things
0:37.0	that I think you should look for in a good therapist or a good life coach, any kind of coach, relationship coach. I would even say like a
0:46.9	fitness coach too as well. Okay. And they may be a little bit abstract on purpose because I want to just tell you the obvious right so
0:58.1	I think first I just want to say I think a lot of people think just because you know your friend had a good experience with a coach or a therapist.
1:12.0	That doesn't mean that that coach or therapist is going to be good for you.
1:15.5	You know, I think there's a difference between the tools that we have as a catalyst, whether they are clinical tools or, you know, positive psychology,

1:36.4	tools you know assuming they're qualified right assuming they either if you're a therapist

1:57.1	especially with coaching and being a therapist that it's not just about what they know, it's about who they are.
2:06.0	And so here are my three things that you should look for in a coach or a therapist. Okay. Number one is they have to believe that you can change.
2:20.0	And I know it sounds really kind of obvious, but you know what? A lot of coaches and therapists,
2:27.0	they're just doing sessions and I don't know if they genuinely believe that you can change.
2:34.6	You may feel hopeless about your story, but your coach or your therapist cannot, if so, he or
2:40.6	she has a ceiling, right?
2:43.1	Then the sessions just kind of turn into going through the motions,
2:47.4	not them truly believing that you can change.
