You may have heard of Jungian Analysts before and were intrigued by the thought of a Jungian Life Coach. What’s the difference between the two? What does it take to become a Jungian Analyst vs. a Jungian Life Coach?
Let’s explore these two professions and the different people they serve.
What is a Jungian Analyst?
A Jungian Analyst is a licensed psychotherapist who has undergone training in analytical psychology, following the principles laid out by Carl Jung. They are typically licensed by the state in which they practice to deliver mental health services.
The therapy model is a medical model, so Jungian analysts will diagnose and treat symptoms in their patients.
What is a Jungian Life Coach?
A Jungian Life Coach uses Jung’s principles of the psyche to help their clients grow and move forward in their lives. There is no diagnosing or treating a condition in a coaching model.
Besides the training and education, the main difference is the people they help. Coaching is for people functioning at a normal level and want to explore their potential. Typically, people who are below functioning and need to get to normal will seek Jungian Analysts and therapy.
Which is right for you?
If you’re deciding between these two professions, really think about who you want to serve and in what context, and what level of training you want to undergo. Becoming a Jungian Analyst can take anywhere from 4-14 years of training after earning your bachelor’s degree and significantly higher tuition costs for the training. Jungian Life Coach Training with CreativeMind is a 12-month program with more extensive training options available. Training as a coach starts at $18,000 without any hidden fees. You can begin to start working with clients while you are in training and build your practice within one year.
