10x Therapists, 10x Coaches

The best therapists facilitate 10x faster change than average; the worst therapists make people worse.

Waiting for supershrink: an empirical analysis of therapist effects — Okiishi et a. (2003). This data is from 2003, but I doubt the situation has drastically changed.

My model is that 10x Coaches can both go faster…

Numbers come from my guesses and experience facilitating.

An average coach may be able to help you release one or two in an hour; the rare 10x’er can help you release one in minutes.

And do more…

A skilled coach can point out suffering you didn’t even know you had:

• Learned helplessness

• Self-fulfilling prophecies

• Insecurities in your shadow
