Reasons Why Johanna Chose Coaching Over Clinical Psychology
While working as a psychology professional, she loved helping trauma patients, leading to a shift in coaching. She wanted to focus on helping clients build their strengths and grow positively instead of labels and pathology, which the psychology profession expects from every psychologist.
Another reason she chose coaching is that it gives her more flexibility in terms of how long she can work with a client. As a clinical psychologist, she could spend time with clients as dictated by insurance companies. She also appreciates that her new career has less paperwork, unlike her previous career, which involved plenty of paperwork before she could get paid for her professional services.
Best Moment in Her Coaching Career
Johanna Lamm once helped a female client who was in an abusive relationship. For years, the woman endured physical and emotional abuse from her spouse, but she was unable to get out of the relationship. After having several coaching sessions with Johanna, the woman got out of the relationship and started a fresh new life.
She once had a grieving client who had sessions that mostly involved crying for 45 minutes. The client had multiple sessions until she accepted her loss and embarked on a healing process. These are the moments that make her coaching career worth it.
