Cost, or investment being a better word, varies greatly in the Therapy and Coaching world.
.
You can get ‘free’ services from charities or local governments…
.
And you can pay tens of thousands privately.
.
Let’s take rehab for example…
.
Again, something that varies massively…
.
But in my own experience - £3k per week of ‘treatment’.
.
A huge expense.
.
The reality is…
.
Rehab rarely works.
.
I don’t know the exact numbers but the relapse rate after leaving rehab is huge.
.
It’s more unsuccessful than it is successful.
.
Why?
.
In my experience, it doesn’t get to the root-cause of the problem.
.
It deals with surface problems.
.
Yes, you feel great after four weeks in rehab.
.
But that’s because you’re four weeks free of alcohol and drugs and you’ve essentially had a four week holiday from real life.
.
Who ain’t gonna feel good after a month-long holiday?
.
Then you have the ‘free’ services that are available…
.
But the people who run these things - the Therapists and Counsellors - don’t get paid a huge amount of money.
.
They work long hours.
.
They listen to people's problems, and excuses for drinking and using, all day long.
.
They aren’t 100% invested because of the above.
.
They’re tired and underpaid.
.
And in my experience, they only have ‘Counselling’ skills.
.
For real change to happen…
.
The people helping, need a toolbox full of tools to help people truly recover from addiction.
.
Not to mention the actual life experience of going through the problem themselves.
.
When you have the above, it makes you a great Coach, Therapist, Mentor, whatever you wanna call it.
.
You see the problem differently.
.
You have empathy and complete understanding of the issue at hand.
.
You are aware of the difficulties and the pitfalls.
.
You get to the source of the issue quicker and easier, without delving into and wasting time on unnecessary ‘rabbit holes’.
.
You can see almost immediately if that person is ready for change, or not.
.
Of course, working with someone like that isn’t going to be free…
.
But in the long run, it’ll be much more beneficial.
.
Why?
.
Because you’ll recover quicker.
.
Meaning you’ll experience inner-peace and freedom sooner.
.
And that…
.
Is priceless.
.
