Therapy or coaching are presented as the two choices. But are these appropriate and is there another way?

1. Therapy: Tissues, tears, talking and thorazine.

2. Coaching: Most often asking questions to "lead you to the answer", though in some cases it has slowly evolved to providing some frameworks/models but still almost never resolving to ROI, payout models or physics.

If your computer crashed due to a corrupted file or OS issue would you call a shaman, stoic or therapist to talk about how to reframe the pain or anger of lost time or a coaching to ask questions of how you feel about it, and what resources do you have to fix it or have it fixed?

What about office politics? A toxic client, coworker or executive? A narcissist at home or in the family. And so on.

I find these approaches brittle, inefficient,incomplete, and often non-repeatable aka laden with heavy technical debt.

The paradigm shift is to understand that all of these issues relate to applied psychology bounded by economics (and ultimately by physics), and that psycheis the superpower with repeatable patterns that are computationally deterministic.And that they form a complex system comprised of modules, functions, algorithms, elements and primitives.

Then it is simply a matter of determining your goal/s or objectives, how you will move towards them or resolve them, such as pain killer, problem slayer, directed problem solving, etc. and while learning simple but very powerful psyche models & psyche functions/forensics that give repeatable results in anticipating, avoiding and/or resolving issues, and moving towards your goals.

Even if you are autistic af, it doesn't matter if you can read an error code or exit code.

The key is this is applicable across all industries, functional areas, and tasks, such hire, fire, promote, love, hate, divorce, stop divorce, sell, buy, negotiate or sue.

It's a leap of faith until the first time it is used and the effortless results come in. And then seen as transparent and repeatable.
