Psychology

psychologist helps bringing a person from a negative to a more or less neutral state (in any aspect)


Client has a negative condition, which should be proactively neutralized with the help of the psychologist

Coaching

coach creates environment for the coachee to be able to develop him-/herself


Development occurs from a neutral state to a positive state (in any aspect)

Pay attention

This is why, when being in a negative state in any major aspect of a human’s basic functioning, the possibility of first seeking out for psychological help should be considered.
