The difference between the current paradigm of practicing as a Clinical Therapist in our conventional, outdated, and toxic system is ruled by politics and bureaucracy.  Rachel Kelly has transformed her life as well as up-leveled her impact she can have on clients by taking her method of helping those in need into her own hands.

In this episode from a recent Instagram Live, Rachel and Gabby both share their own experiences of practicing within the current therapy system, and just how backwards the system is.  This outdated and mismanaged structure not only produces overwhelm and burnout for therapists, but also prevents them from being empowered to help their clients.  They explain the difference between conventional therapy and the realm of coaching which has such a stigma, that it is disregarded and assumed to be illegitimate and unethical.  Rachel answers questions from the live audience and explains her view, and Gabby talks about how coaching being an “unregulated space” can be a very good thing.

“The Irony of it was that all the people that were making decisions about my clients were people that were not actually working with my clients or actually therapists at all, it was just Upper Management and there was such a hierarchy, and there was no sense of Empowerment therapists to be able to advocate for their clients” -Rachel Kelly
