We all have skeletons. Trainers/practitioners and clients/patients alike. While it is not professionally appropriate for either party to be the other's emotional therapist during training, people in fitness and health care can get quite close to one another.
Probably the best professional therapy we can offer is to outwardly recognize our own flaws and take steps to better them. By being a leader of your own self-improvement, others will follow. You will not have all the answers to fix someone elses life, but you can have a profound impact by simply being a strong and challenging example.
Challenge yourself every day - do things outside your comfort zone - particularly those things where you think "thats just not me". Yes you have an identity, but that identity is every growing and flexible just like those around you. Show them - don't tell them - the path to a brighter future. Learn to Live Above & Live Beyond™ yourself...
