As someone who has had therapy from a licensed psychologist, I don’t understand how Harry can be qualified to give important help if he consistently blames others for his issues rather than looking into himself and how he can get healthy.
Exactly. He said in the Oprah interview that he was ashamed to ask for help for his supposedly suicidal wife. Then went on to blame his family for not helping them!! How could they help if he didn’t tell them? Yet this is the man who is chief impact officer for Better Up. Harry and his wife are charlatans out to make billions by passing themselves off as humanitarians, who cannot even get along with their own families.
BetterUp is to be blamed for any serious consequences because they appointed this ginger prince and gave him the right to coach others when he clearly needs help himself.
He barely scraped through his High School and had to cheat to pass 2 A Levels! He was held back a year at Eton as he just wasn't able to keep up with his peers! And this dolt is giving mental health advice!!! He needs to go get some treatment! 😏😏
It is very sad that coaching, for many people, has replaced friendship, during which someone who truly cares for you, gives you advice, no charge. Bring back authentic, caring relationships.
Funny you should say this as years ago while suffering severe depression and PTSD my therapist asked me why I was there. I replied that in this day and age we have to pay to have a friend to talk to...she was angered by this and became very critical of me after that. I now realize what a bad therapist she was.
@@messengeroftruth17 for some things, that might be true, but also you shouldn’t expect your family or friends to be your only help through serious mental problems. Some things really need someone educated, trained, and *neutral* to guide you through. Your friends and family may love you, and want to help, but if they don’t actually understand your problem, or are possibly part of your problem, they’re of limited help
"Entitled, arrogant, disconnected from the experiences of real-world, lacking critical thinking skills, believes he has suffered tremendously and therefore he has the wisdom to give advice to others" That's true about a LOT of rich people
I fully agree . The guy got problems himself . Being in the military it was a good life experience for him to get over his mother's loss . But he is too weak and sensible to deal with mental health issues now. He is not made for that and his wife is pushing him deeper an deeper into these kind of choices. I think he needs a good mental counsellor or coach himself . His life choices were not good at all they were very poor. He is not able to pull himself out of it and he got no wisdom at all. He cannot train or coach people , He never attended a Medical University himself or any speciality in psychology or psychiatric field. He turned his back to his Grand Mother Her Majesty the Queen and to his whole Family and friends. This guy got mental dysfunctional issues himself. He is not a self made man who achieved success with his own means willing to share and coach others about how to be a successful man . He lives from inheritance . He is Unreliable , vulnerable and a weak person . We can see how he behaved with his family and his own brother and sister in low and his friends in UK and people who cared for him and loved him . He refused to work for the Crown and taking responsibilities. He dropped everything it was given to him . He felt from the grace .
But he has suffered. Growing up in the public eye having to deal with his parents public divorce and family drama, having a mother who was heavily scrutinised and mobbed at the same time the most beloved woman on earth, to then die and having to deal with public grief and the heavy burden of royal responsibilities is suffering in its own right!
@@berry6467 he is not the only one who lost his mother at an early age. No excuse . His brother Prince William he has grown up but Harry is still immature , vulnerable and on top of it he married a ruthless , vile and arrogant woman and he became arrogant too with his brother , sister in Low , with his family and cousins and friends from UK . He is a drama man married a drama woman Meghan . Ever since she came into the Royal family she did nothing but she create a massive drama around her . Her arrogance is rampant and he goes along with that .
@@Sooner-im9qf I think so they are preparing a Netflix movie script to launch and benefit from the huge profits in Hollywood by selling the rights to it .
I find it strange that a person who has always had every advantage handed to him, most of which he squandered or ignored, someone who has inadequate education, no life experience training, no idea of the reality of the average person's life is prepared to coach the rest of us on living life to the fullest. How incredibly arrogant.
Now take it a step further. The Queen is even more aloof and pampered. Royals have no business existing in the 21st century. The right to rule is based on magical thinking and elitism. They hate Harry because he is a reminder that they are nothing but leeches on the world. The Queen is not qualified to run a household, let alone a country. None of them are. Get off your knees, UK, and tell this privileged family to pack their stuff, get jobs and leave.
I knew a self-proclaimed “life coach.” She was living an easy life, knew how to get hired as a manager but not how to keep a job, and that was not a problem because her husband was very wealthy and hard-working. Life coach work gave her reassurance of her belief that she was doing better than others because she WAS better. Over a few years, she had a few clients who assumed her higher/end life style meant she knew how to succeed. If you need a therapist, hire a licensed therapist who has the education and training and is bound by ethical and legal standards. If you want to feed the ego of a privileged person who wants to play therapist at your expense without becoming credentialed, hire a life coach.
yes. so true . they are everywhere.the worst is that there are a lot of new agers and energy healers and past life healers and they also are chiefs of ideas .now they say they are trama healers. they really mess up with you and they are extremely passive aggressive.we used to call these people in the past fortune tellers .now they changed their titles as mediums , psychics , then they became empaths then energy healers now trama healers. if you question them they hate you because they know that they are frauds and this is how they make money.
Imagine having a life coach who's only job was being a prince and who was unwilling and unable to do it so he quit his job causing major havoc in their family. Smells like great success 💪💪💪
I never consider even Oprah life coach, she is more lost than us all. People that have that kind of money don’t know what to do with themselves, because money wasn’t the answer to their hearts desire. They don’t know who they are, Oprah is old enough, but she is lost, she knows a lot, but knows nothing. And many people she had through the years on her show, are the same. They don’t know nothing as well, they just try life like everyone else. Charisma make them watchable, nothing else, never mind the ones that wind up worse than when they started.
Then again it's very inspiring when someone quits a job after never having one in the first place. I'm still trying to do that myself and would love to learn how he accomplished that.
@@craigfinnegan8534 yeah, I know people that turned their backs on their family, to never speak to them again. But one that went back or kept making money on their names, never. He is so lost, he is a boy, not a man. Poor rich boy.
I have to admit. The analysis was very entertaining. The fact that dr. Grande can keep a straight face and spoke in the same tone while explaining all this in a comical way makes it even funnier.
I had a Life Coach shame me for leaving a toxic relationship then proceeded to take total credit for the growth she saw in me. It was an obvious ploy to diminish my self-worth to make me a repeat customer. This field really needs to be legislatively regulated.
Yep they want to take total credit for everything you did not what they did but you did happened to me 40 years ago and I walked out the door and never look back
@@markstevenson6635 I do and have worked very hard to do a better job with my children. (Because we can always do better) My youngest turned 18 a few days back. 😊
Your straight faced mockery of this quackery is legendary! The way you wield words is magic. I tip my hat to you, dear Sir, in utter awe and respect. 😁
Many a “life coach” have crossed my path in my 48 years… in various countries. I am of the opinion that the people who find their career in “life coaching” - more often than not, are the people most in need of… life coaching. The irony. 😐
Exactly this. I remember first hearing the term “life coach” as a legit job title I was shocked, amused, and disgusted all at the same time. As always though, I try to keep an open mind even if my brain is signaling nonsense. An open mind can help us see the other persons perspective, or even sway our own. In the case of “life coaching”, despite trying to be more inviting to the idea of it being a profession, and more sensitive to the ppl who claim to need it… I still feel the same disgust towards it. I was raised poor, and after 2020 job losses, I’m back to being broke again. I see ppl who need life coaching as being part of a privileged class. A group of ppl with too much time and money on their hands, paired with no sense of purpose or direction. I see life coaches themselves as having the same issues; no real direction or purpose and usually from a life of excess or privilege. The title of life coach just bumps them up to a higher bracket of superiority lol. That’s why I think you’re probably on to something here, which would explain why those who have called upon a life coach, often want to “graduate” to life coaching themselves. Narcissistic feedback loop maybe? Lol
@@dlxmarks idk I sat in a many of counselor offices in HS lol. I truly didn’t understand what their job was until I found out my close aunt was also a HS counselor. The general public (myself included) see them as a therapist for the troubled kids. They really just seem to be used to schedule classes, coordinate things such as Jr ROTC, pre college classes for students, scholarship info, college entrance stuff, military ASVAB, etc. They are there to council students and direct them to their best possible course of action based on the students aspirations. It wasn’t until I was qualified to see the school psychologist that I realized “school counselor” was not synonymous with “therapist”. It only took me going to a mental hospital for two weeks before I was qualified… (and they wonder why we have so many school shootings…) I really wish they would find a new title for that job position. Like HS Coordinator or something… Goals Management personnel… 🤣 anything but student counselors
He's been the Duke of Nonsense! He's an expert at: 1. Making a fool of himself. 2. Trashing his family publicly. 3. Making poor decisions (marrying the wrong person). 4. Not learning from his mistakes. 5. Complaining and whining. 6. Being his wife's handbag. 7. Lying (namely about his family). 8. Being overly entitled. Etc...........
Oh yeah, I’m gonna take life coaching advice from an ex-prince married to a narcissist and can’t get along with his own family🤦🏻♀️ sounds like a plan.
There is a particular psychological aspect Harry doesn’t understand about what the majority of people face. Harry will never struggle to find employment and therefore an income like 99% of people. The psychological impacts of this reality are a divide he cannot nor will not with any sincerity understand.
Yeah he is really out of touch with the entitlement and self-importance. He called it “bonkers” that regular people have freedom of speech here. They were also sending letters to outlets saying that allowing people to criticize to them online was damaging their so-important, “charitable” work, acting like he’s so much more important than others he shouldn’t even be criticized. It’s much different other places. In the UK, you can go to jail if you offend someone in the wrong group and they perceive what you said or did as hateful, or for things like offensive Facebook posts.. You’re also put on a list that employers check, basically labeled a hateful bigot even if it’s a “non-crime hate incident”, no trial, nothing.
You never know…he was cutoff from the royal teat and if he keeps spending large sums he could wind up in trouble. Maybe Megan will have to go back to work
“Kind of like when someone calls themselves an actor or actress…anyone can use that title, even if they have no acting talent…for example Meghan Markle considers herself an actress.”😭😭 Literally my jaw dropped at that subtle joke. I am cackling.
Yes, we are all actors We used to make instant drama/accusations to friend having hiccups It took convincing acting she got shocked, defend herself and hiccup forgotten 🤣🤣🤣 We did that to each other Without being good actors, ofc it would fail/not stopping the hiccups 😅😅
As a retired psychotherapist, I am surprised that someone with no training or experience, thinks he can give people insight into how to run their lives. His experience is as a royal son. I'm sure none of the people that come to him are royals!
Imagine being born into absolute fame and wealth, never actually having to work for anything, and thinking you have room to 'life coach' people. These are the people who would need a life coach if they didn't have everything set out for them from the gate.
I’m retired and this whole “life coaching” business recalls the worst aspects of corporate life. It’s mostly nonsense but the suits in upper management and HR love this stuff. In reality, try telling your boss that you will miss that deadline because you’re taking time off for “self care.”
An ex of mine worked in HR and by extension, became a self titled 'life coach'.. Ironically the least qualified person for that position in life... Maybe after 10 years in therapy?
I'm retired from corporate meat grinder too. Sometimes seems like it was in the nick of time. Call it career or job coaching, but hands off my life when I'm not on the clock.
“He used to be a race car driver but now he doesn’t’ have a race car”. A great analogy. A little boy lost is how he must feel. He only has to go back a couple generations to realize he has replayed his great uncle’s life. History has repeated itself.
To be fair, if you are in acting you are an actress, whether that's in a local panto or amateur dramatic society, a West end theatre production or in TV adverts. There's no issue with using the word actress to describe what she did.
@@KJ-lb4tj Thanks for the explanation. I still wonder how the fact that she actually was an actress contributes to the joke being funny though. It's a true mystery. Maybe we need a master joke analist in here.
If his Pateron is anything like these videos I'm subscribing to his... If I had a therapist with this type of humor that would probably help me deal with some of my issues... 😂🤣.. please be one of these therapists... lol
Harry was not only born to a life of privilege, he was born to a life of duty. He wants to use his title to Garner celebrity friends and business contacts, however, he doesn't want to abide by the rules of the royal family. Harry, in my opinion, is a sloped brat who is nothing more than a narcissistic attention seeker. He complained about racism within the royal household, yet he actually went to a party dressed in a Nazi uniform. The best thing anyone can do for him, is to ignore him. Perhaps then, he might actually get a real job.
@@joannesterling7905 I think intelligence would probably be a negative in the Royal Family. What would they do with it? Better attributes would be empathy, insight and critical thinking. And a dollop of common sense.
I wonder, do you think that it is Harry who wants to use his title to get celebrity friends and business contacts or do you think it is Meghan who wants to use his title to get celebrity friends and business contacts? Do you think it is Harry who is the narc or Meghan? Before Harry married Meghan I don't think he behaved like this. After he married her I think he largely fell in with her behaviours. At the wedding Harry had his family and friends on his side. Meghan had celebrity "friends" and business contacts whom she barely knew on her side. Other than her mother she didn't have a single close personal friend or relation there (except for some Canadian woman who she has now split from and doesn't speak to).
I’m LMAO when Dr Grande said “ get business cards made with your name in it and list the words life coach”. This is why I love this channel. The humor is wonderful.
After my husband died I was really lost so I found a Life Coach in my area. She's a lovely lady but I soon realized that she had so many of her own personal problems, that I really wondered how she could be advising anybody else on how to live. I found myself giving her advice especially on men and relationships. Lol!!
I think that's what Harry would be like, and someone certainly needs to give him some real advice, but his wife has him locked into her puppet strings...
I can totally believe this happened. The idea of a life coach sounds great, and I can completely understand the drive to help others; but, as said in a previous comment, there isn't really a governing body to define life coaching, like a board of medicine or nursing, so accountability is severely lacking. I'm a behavioral health nurse having worked with many traumatized, depressed and anxious people. Shouldn't I be qualified to give advice or coaching to others with the same problems? Not really. Imo, even social workers are not qualified to administer therapy, though social workers can legally be hired as counselors or establish their own counseling practice. Coaching, counseling, therapy, call it what you will, requires lengthy, specialized training. It is in no way just "giving advice", though many people think advice is what they need when searching for a coach, therapist, counselor. A therapist is trained to guide someone through a process of finding his or her own answers instead of just telling that person what to do (advice giving). There's a reason they are called therapists and not advisors.
@@Watcher6868 It may look similar, but it's not the same. The first one aligns with your moral values and has nothing to do with anything other than your/couple's spiritual wellbeing, while the second is more about business transactions. Therapy is something you go to, pay for, and leave as soon as the time is up. Hedonistic self-centeredness is more prevalent, sometimes without even considering consequences.
I lost a child a couple of years ago, but I don’t think it makes me an expert at helping people deal with loss. The only advice I’d ever give is, don’t let others determine when it’s time to get on with your life.
I never knew being a 'Life Coach' was so lawless.... You made such an important point when you said "All the gatekeeping that exists in the Mental Health industry, does not apply to the world of life coaching." Such a great video Dr. Grande! ♡♡
Some mental health practitioners aren't psychologists, they are "therapists", often social workers. I had one that definitely had some kind of personality disorder.
Not all life coaches are bad. I’m a life coach and certified. If I get a client who needs a therapist instead of a coach I’ll refer this client. And I’ll always mention that I’m a coach and not a therapist. I work with paint and intuition and have helped many people to find their life purpose and live a happier life. Having said all that there are a lot of unethical coaches out there. Look for a coach who is a member of the International Coach Federation and upholds their ethics.
A woman in my friendship group is a 'Life Coach'. When she was less than 2 months sober, she self-published a dreadful 'life experience' book on Amazon Kindle, and proceeded to market herself as a 'Best Selling Author' with 'years of experience in addiction and sobriety'. Her life was a genuine mess, and she was charging people a fortune to be their 'coach.' I couldn't believe someone with absolutely no qualifications, experience, or even background checks was allowed to have that kind of position of influence and power over highly vulnerable people.
@@Herstyleseduier Would you rather be friends with the charlatan life coach rather than the clear eyed observer of the charlatan? Without realising it you must be one of the highly vulnerable people these life coaching quacks have power over.
I went to the unemployment office and told them I was a "life coach". One of the employees there was laughing so hard that they had to call emergency services, before I was escorted out by security! What shall I do now, Harry? I have been tapping my shoulders red raw but still no money...Can I come to live with you in Monteschitzo? I'll only need the one bathroom!
I think sometimes I could benefit from a Life Coach, in the same way pretty much anyone might benefit from honest observation and feedback, but I think that the only qualification really needed would be a reasonably functional person that is just "not me" who can utilize the 4 or 5 steps of the "problem solving approach". . Someone who can just look and give feedback from the outside. Not to undermine, maybe there is more to it for those who are good at it. I would imagine that psychology or even formal special ed knowledge might be helpful, bc of the strategies that could be used. and individualized. But I'd be running the other way if they got flakey w spiritual universe energy talk that Dr. G mentioned!
The idea of any of the royals giving life advice is just completely laughable. It’s not our job, to make him feel like *he* has a “job” What could he possibly know about actual life, anyway? He’s never had to live it.
Hear! Hear! 👏👏👏👏. All he wants is money 💰 & more money 💰 💰. Then take a private jet to play polo and not win. 40 years old and too rich to have a meaningful purpose in life cause he’s too lazy to obey rules of life. So he wants to take to losers about how to flex the healthy mind, while steps to call his dad for a few million..
As a licensed mental health professional, what worries me is what do these “coaches” do when they get in over their heads? Do they even recognize a suicidal or homicidal individual? My long-time mantra has been “And Then What?”
My life coach encouraged my eating disorder, gave me tips on getting stimulants but not addressing or getting help for my anxiety. and she advised pushing away my family, bestie & husband if they distracted from "the goals". My bosses loved it. I was focused. I was productive. Obviously, everything else in my life suffered. I think there is a real place for legitimate life coaching but it seems to fall more in the occupational therapy model or a licensed therapist.
@@rosemarycornwall5162 one of the psychiatrists that I worked with for many years would listen to suicidal patients saying all would be ok because they would go to heaven and see so and so, etc. His comeback on that was …”but what if you’re wrong?” The response from the patient was usually silence and hesitation as in “Gee, I never thought of that.”
Many if not all life coaches are troubled individuals, know nothing about life, recited few mantras and people that are very needy gets hooked. It is horrible, it is like diets, every here and there a diet comes out and everyone have to try it, I am so tired of this, because it is exhausting the pushing for sells and money hungry people. Life is so simple.
@@laurenmay2098 my x wife after divorce quit her 6 figure engineering manager job to become a lifecoach. 4 years later she's about to get evicted from a house she bought, failure to pay taxes, had no car, no money for anything except basic food, not refreshed wardrobe for 5 years. As she is the mother of our children, I wish her well, and she is doing better now with a telemarketing job, but my god, what a gigantic blunder of a failure. Free non-lifecoach lesson: Dont quit highpaying job to follow pipedreams or become a lifecoach.
@@Santor- wow, I feel for her, what was she thinking? Some times we believe in a dream that is not realistic. Hers wasn’t at all. Hope she will have enough to live life comfortably and have some fun as well, not good to live with the consequences of such a huge mistake.
How in the world did you keep a straight face thru this? LMAO!!! Hilarious content. It's gotta be tough to say extra words to be considered master trained. Another winning video from Dr. G!
🤣 He said that with such a straight face, I had a mental neck snap look/refocus to make sure I was hearing him correctly and then realize that once again he is showing off his talent for cracking such a joke with a blank face.
🤣🤣🤣 this is such a wonderful way to start the day. Dr. Grande I can’t wait to see your opinion of Harry’s book. Thank you for your opinions given with a straight face.
Takes talent to posture oneself in a deadpan mode, then proceed with 'lecturing' in a boring tone yet causing unstoppable laughing effect on the hearer..psssst lol.
We all thought Harry abandoned royalty, turns out he was just too busy learning to harness the power of the universe. Who wants to be king of England when you can be a galaxy brain god emperor?
Dear Dr. Grande: thank you for your enlightening description of the credentials required to become a life coach. They're exactly the same needed in order to become a politician. No wonder both fields of expertise are populated by people with the same psychological profile.
As an English man and a Royalist who has followed the monarchy all my life my take on this is quite simple. Born as what is known as "The Spare" to "The Heir" when he left the army which he loved, he could find no purpose being a member of an ancient institution. Meeting a middling actress who could see the personal advantage of a title he fell for her charm and good looks. However finding the monarchy was far from actors playing a role and acting "normally "off camera , she became disillusioned at having to live within the restraints and convinced him to leave this restrictive life to be able to find his "True" calling in the same way his mother had. Maybe she even thought she could become asbeloved world wide as Princess Diana. Their endeavours so far seem to have been viewed as spilling family secrets for money and Harry being blinded by the the interest in his title. Companies and individuals are using him like PT Barnham would have used John Merrick had he bought him over to the USA in the 19th century. His wife is in her element as she is used to being in the spotlight and has garnered more popularity than if she had won an Oscar or two. He also seems to have the impression that he is punching above his weight married to a beautiful actress and accepts her advice and seeks her assurance every step of the way. However he was not educated as any normal person would be. Royals of his level are there to serve their country from birth until death, it's an outdated but undeniable truth. He has shown up his naivety, lack of understanding and his born arrogance in such a way as to damage himself and maybe in the long-term the monarchy itself. In all honesty I can't see this ending happily for him, his wife or their children.
I met Harry in a pub in Earls Court Road in 2009. It was near closing time that an entourage of casual but well-dressed men began to filter into the pub and a few minutes later he came in and soon he had a pint in his hand. I don't think many people noticed him and those who did left him alone. I proceeded to leave at closing time and on my way out approached him and introduced myself as a London Australian, shaking his hand and wishing him well. It was all very brief. I later felt that I should have left him alone too.
I have never been a fan of most of the recent members of the British monarchy but for the most part I did not really care ( I am from Germany) but since she came into the picture even I have started defending them. I am older and I remember how the press even in Germany attacked Kate for alledgley trying to get a prince no matter what it took, like being cheated on and William not wanting her etc etc..Not once did she complain to the Press or showed the struggles she had.That is why the public perception of her changed, by the couple working hard in the " jobs" and " positions" that life has determined for them.Trying to see it as a privilege. Markle is such a stereotype of a superficial, unthankful , disrespectful, greedy " new rich" ( that's how we call it if one translates it word by word😁) that it's hard to believe that someone fitting the meaning of that German term so perfectly, really exists .People have given Harry a pass for his displays of immaturity in his past because it was in a - refreshing , childlike way compared to Charles for example and he is not the successor anyways, who in contrast fulfills his role and married a woman who trys to support him in any way she can.But now it is open for anyone to see that thanks to the other members his character trades were softened and covered and he tried to do his part.."The duchess" boosts these traits and uses his trauma to milk him and secure her financial status and need for public attention that would have eventually decreased as a soap opera actress with growing age..Terrible that he doesn't see at his age that it's all a big money scheme starting with his wife and the whole "industry" blowing steam up his behind to make money and then once he served their purpose or better said doesn't anymore , both Meghan and the companies move on to squeeze next person.His kids will probably be next ...
As an MFT clinician, I found your review both hilarious and precisely accurate. Thank you. Harry needs to see a therapist who can help him. He is a lost puppy
I believe he has. The empathy NOT shown for him here is interesting. Because he’s a prince and has money he’s not entitled to talk about mental health?
@@Laesmum talking about mental health doesn’t make you mentally healthy. He is allowing a very abusive woman to have power over him and demean him. He is clearly depressed. Men are not tools. Megan is using hun to climb her social latter.
Oh my god- finally got my husband to watch - he's a doctor himself and is now thinking of uttering the words that will give him more qualifications for his CV " I am a master certified life coach". Your humor was so much appreciated today!!!
Doctor Grande after consulting the universe and harmonizing my vibrations to the infinity I have concluded that: you are the best! Your sense of humor is exactly what my evolving soul requires to ascend to higher realms 😊
Dr Grande, this has to be the most hilarious video you ever made and how you got through it from start to finish without cracking up is truly a miracle. You must have had to do a few double takes because this was like an oustanding, stand-up routine! I'd love to watch it again and count the number of times you said 'life coach' but dude, you nailed it. You called out this chicanary of a 'business' for what it is and maybe people will think a little longer and harder before they put themselves in the hands of a 'Lifetime, Gold Member, One of a Kind, Certified in certification Life Coach'!
@Dearbhla McArdle -I think you meant to say that Dr. Grande might've had to do "a few *takes"* when filming certain parts. A "double-take" is a _delayed reaction_ to something unexpected, immediately _after_ one's _first reaction._
I laughed so hard when you said it's a completely different story to be a Certified Master Life Coach. That means you have to add two words 'Master and Certified' and that requires a major commitment. 'Maybe you need to consult the Universe'. What makes it so funny is that you say it all with a straight face and no extra intonation in your voice. I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for that. I suffer from major depressive disorder and need to laugh more to feel better.
Each to his own. i''ve never found his 'humour' funny, i even stopped watching this video half way through. i wish he would go back to his original format, talking about mental health topics. it was far more interesting.
I laughed through lot of this, but then I ended feeling like this was actually a serious indictment of people who aren't qualified, giving advice that might end up causing serious consequences. An example might be the exuberant positivity movement, which is now being called toxic positivity because of the harm it caused.
This reminds me of how the school principal at my former school would print "awards" for himself or for the school. He was actually was phenomenal principal but just simply did this to be funny. He made awards like "Best Fire Drills" then ask a firefighter to take a picture with him holding the award. He would send the picture to other school principals as a joke. He was just being funny but I think he was also making a good point about how easily people can just decide to give themselves a prestigious label and there will be people who fall for it. I do think a lot of people out there do not take life coaches less seriously than trained psychologists or mental health professionals that that is truly scary.
Thanks for covering this topic. As someone who experience severe abuse as a child I have gone through several approaches in educating myself to self help. Unfortunately, I stepped off the path to healing a couple years ago and went for life coaching. Within 3 years I’d spend a huge amount of money and became completely confused in self responsibly for drawing my stepfather to abuse me and beyond. Long story short, I recovered with help of my former psychiatrist and a certified ptsd theraptist with the same office and my meds are fine now and lower than before. Please people get qualified mental health help just as you would have a broken arm set by a qualified physician. I think it boarders on criminal for “life coaches“ to advise unsuspecting innocent people in ways that put guilt, shame and mental anguish on their plates without any care or responsibility of harming them emotionally. How these people face themselves in the mirror is beyond me. My life coach is probably famous but I found has only a high school education and has natural ability in sales rather than caring to heal broken lives.
I think an effective life coach would teach you what you need to own (your life from here on) and what you should NOT own (creep's predatory behavior that hurt you). But a mental health therapist should also do just that. I'm glad you got it straightened back out and have been able to continue healing.
Life coaches can be good....or not. There are "on line certification" programs: the industry IS VERY open to ***holes everywhere. Then there are very good, expensive programs. I considered this field as a possibility upon my retirement until I discovered the fluidity of experience/ professional development
@Taluta I know it's probably little consolation. I also had my sanity, childhood, mojo, vibe, energy, faith in humanity, faith in "God" etc, stolen from me at an early age. I'll spare you the depressing details and how catastrophic my derailment was. Do you mind my asking what med(s) you are taking? I've taken so many over the years that I can't even remember them all. None were very helpful, and some had AWFUL side effects.
Thank you for being a voice of reason. Dr. Grande, you are such a refreshing, logically sound, highly intelligent man and such a contrast to the endless time wasting nonsense that exists on the internet. When I have days where the world doesn’t make sense, life doesn’t make sense, politics don’t make sense, I sit down and go straight to your channel, and I listen to your highly educated voice of reason sprinkled with dry wit, and then I feel better. Words cannot express my gratitude. Thank you for your content, your channel makes my life better.
There was a time when ‘life coaches’ would be our elders in the family, people who had lived their lives, gone through ups and downs, and learnt through tons of real life experience. Generally speaking their advice would always be to err on the side of caution, spend more time in prayer and generally tell you to be simpler and humbler in life. Now it’s just the opposite…
Many families and, therefore family members, are a hot mess. I agree that it would be amazing for family members to serve theses roles and provide this support, but for many, it’s not an option. Family members can be hurtful and cause harm. This is a sad but true fact. If that’s not you, count your blessings.
@@purpleflows5680 Not my experience. In my day, the majority of families seemed to be fine. People tolerated each other and got on with things. They were happy. Now being happy seems so complicated. And 'hot messes'? Never came across one.
The new trend is for people who are having issues (millennials approaching 40) to disengage completely from their parents and grandparents. I have actually read lines on 'self-help' websites that state 'Your parents chose to have you. It was their responsibility to ensure you had a happy life.' If you are unhappy as you approach middle age, it is all due to the emotional abuse you suffered as a child. Emotional abuse being anything that made you feel bad. Emotional abuse is parents not understanding or knowing the true intentions of your 5 year old self. Not only are you encouraged to cut your aging parents/grandparents out of your life, but you are told it is not up to you to reconcile with them. 'Even though you are an adult, you are still the child and they are still the parent, and therefore the parent must take complete responsibility in making amends for your toxic childhood.' You know.......when daddy told you to shut up and sit down and eat your peas. Ruined you for life. The endgame is that the millennial will never have to worry about taking care of their elders in later years. Signed, Master Certified Life Coach.
I watched a few life coaches on UA-cam and quickly realized the damage that can be done. As a person with mental health issues I know how vulnerable we can be to people who think they have all the answers.
People with mental health issues should be seeing a therapist, not a life coach. Or both. One to help sort their mental health issues, and the other to help make headway in their professional lives or reach other goals. In both cases you need to find GOOD practitioners.
@@robinrubendunst869 they should but most don't. They're afraid of seeking help because they care what other people may think. In some cultures it's seen as being weak or "crazy" and they're afraid of that stigma. 😔
@@robinrubendunst869 A good example of how life coaching can gloss over a serious issue is when one thinks using positive affirmations will help enough to change one's life. A psychiatrist would question what the specific underlying issues are that led the patient to repeating affirmations. When you think about it, this encompasses the problem with life coaching. It's just so superficial and ineffective.
It is one of my greatest frustrations as a psychotherapist (who has spent many years and dollars qualifying to be a professional practicing legally and ethically) to have clients come to me after spending thousands (charging far more than psychotherapists in my area charge) on "trauma life coaches" to deal with complex trauma. The encroachment of "life coaches" into the field of mental health is an insidious erosion of the gravitas that is required to treat addiction and mental illness. If I could report these fraudulent and unqualified "coaches" for practicing beyond their scope of competence I would, but they have NO governing body. They aren't required to have an education, licensing, registration, supervision or have malpractice insurance. That should be a red flag to anyone tempted to find a cheer leader who dabbles in "helping people".
These PR companies should be prosecuted. People like Meghan should be arrested and charity’s that misguide or misuse for enriching themselves using mental health should be prosecuted and banned
Agreed. Just like I can't stand life coaches writing self help books. The path to success, happiness, and healing looks different to different people. They are people with no credentials telling others what to do. If you are having issues with mental help, seek an actual licensed mental health professional. If Prince Harry wants to help, he should go to school and obtain the proper education.
I'm so glad you made this comment. It's imperative that people understand that these so called life coaches do not have the experience, knowledge or training to deal with the very broad range of traumas that may come their way. I truly believe they are at risk of causing a greater amount of harm than they may intend.
The ability to say, ‘I am a Master Life coach’ over and over with a straight face is a true Life skill! Maybe you could capitalize on that, monetize a course, and certify people with a sense of humor. Your videos are entertaining! Thank you!
@@paul2019monte I am one who retired, went back to school to get licensed as a counselor, and was able to spend 10 years or so helping people. It was very satisfying, but taking on the responsibility without the education and backing of colleagues is downright reckless.
@@psingerman4778 Thank you for taking this undertaking seriously and pursuing it with the weight it deserves. You show respect to those people coming to you for help.
Let’s not forget Oprah gave us Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, and gave Jenny McCarthy a huge platform for her anti-vaccine platform. She has given quacks a huge audience.
I'm so glad you mentioned the Big O. She globs on to anything and anyone that can keep her in the spotlight. Does anyone remember the dude she endorsed with her book club who was a "supposed " recovered drug addict who had root canals done on his teeth " without anesthesia" . Big O had to eat crow on that one 🤣
Oprah is very good at what she does. Early in her career she interviewed the late, great Frank Muir and deeply impressed him. Unfortunately she’s too gullible and too willing to promote potentially dangerous nonsense.
Sign that says, "Life coach Parking." Master Life Coach... massive commitment. Thanks for the best part of my day today.. Your dry delivery had me in stitches.
I was laughing out loud. Seriously though, I’m sure, as a professional, trained therapist, Dr. Grande gets very frustrated by unqualified people trying to pass themselves off as mental health professionals, even if they mask it with titles like “Life Coach”. Many people assume that someone with one of those fancy titles certainly must have certain knowledge and education to merit that. It’s a sham. The lesson here is, you’re better off seeking out a real mental health professional rather than some amateur who is winging it. There are even trained counselors who, while not at the same level as a psychiatrist or psychologist, still have some education to actually provide professional guidance.
@@jeanieolahful He maybe has been advised not to take the arduous academic training to become a counselor or psychotherapist. He can't do it. All he is fit for is to exploit his unearned fame and to be somebody else's representative, just as he was in his work in the Royal Family. Once a representative, always a representative!
The condescension when explaining what it takes to become a life coach, is palpable. I usually don’t appreciate dry humor much, but this channel is pure gold. As someone who has worked in mental health for over 15 years. I have the same sentiments towards life coaches. I also think human understanding of mental health is infantile at best. Cheers!
We dont even know 1 percent about brain function. We know nothing about mental health. Recently it was revealed lack of neurotransmitters and the reuptake inhibitors are jot the cause and cure
This is the most balanced analysis of Harry I've ever heard. No mudslinging and no sugarcoating, simply stating it as it is and moving on to Better Up.
😂😂😂 as a frequent viewer of this channel, I was NOT ready for the “what makes you a life coach” and “life coach vs. master certified” analysis! Shaaaady and I LOVE it 😂 thank you for the laughs on what can be a topic that makes me grumpy
As an expat of Southern California, I found this Dr. Grande episode to be so, so freaking funny! Really very clever. So spot-on! Brings back many fond and funny memories from socializing with folks of this ilk. One jaw-dropping experience was hanging out with a fellow mom of a 5-year-old kid. We're out enjoying a sunny day at the park with our kids. Her son finds a nickel on the ground. He's having his "Oh, wow!" moment. The mom becomes overjoyed as this teachable-moment unfolds, and excitedly exclaims: "Look what the universe gave you!!" Indoctrination....😳 😬
I believe that Harry irrespective of privilege, pomp and glory had many challenges while having a mother who was desperately unhappy in the triangle of Charles and Camilla. Then losing his mother in such a tragic and sudden way must have been very traumatic. In addition, having to contain all those emotions with a stiff British upper lip at 12 yrs old. Yet. I don't believe that this certifies him to become a Master Life Coach and mess with other individuals' mental health when he himself isn't stable or particularly clear where he stands in relation to himself and his family. A royally sad state of affairs.
Why everyone afraid to mention that his father his mother horse coach with red hair and being on public eye all his life and his mother cheating!!! Lol. I am sure Harry just tired and have a lot problems with not being biological son of Charles!!! Why people afraid to say that king is naked and keep pretending!! Harry knows that everyone playing game !
Sorry but I am a Master Life Coach...uncertified granted.......ALL I did was just to raise 3 screaming babies to good functioning ADULTS now I am certified NOT no we add my grandchildren I am double certified. Oh boy why do you ignore me!!!
BRAVO! A great analysis Dr. G. Your humour was abundant in speaking about Harry. You clearly defined that Harry is totally unqualified for the path that he is on and most of us realized this. I'd say that Life Coaching needs government regulation and certification. Otherwise many will be suckered in to hear about direction, from a person with zero credentials.
@@evmcelroy This has nothing to do with hating anyone. If you are not educated and licensed to do a job that deals with people minds, you shouldn't be doing it.
In my area of the world, "Life Coaches" are mostly people that went to school for mental health counseling but couldn't pass certification tests. Or, they formerly worked as a mental health counselor but had their license taken away. Or, they dropped out of school before graduating and know a little bit about counseling. Also, the whole frequency waves/alternative meds/magical thinking/apothecary and essential oils seems to be included.
Or some who just got sick of the restrictions. After all, a Life Coach can say "just do that," whereas a therapist mostly just points you in a direction.
I spent a great deal of time avoiding psychologists and psychiatrists and relied on self-help resources because I felt like admitting I had an illness made me weak. This was over 10 years ago and can see now how damaging it was for me rely on those resources instead of seeking proper treatment. I do admire that some of these coaches are trying to help people but it very much teeters on the edge of interfering with proper mental health treatment.
Actually there are some more ethical coaches who would really refer their clients for treatment and would serve as a source of support and advocate for the treatment.
My experience has been the exact opposite. I've had several therapists, and the only thing any of them said to me that helped me is that I had all the answers to my problems.
@@craigfinnegan8534 I felt I knew as much or more than the therapists I tried. They were no more helpful than my friends. I realize one has to try many in order to find the right fit for your issues. Perhaps an gave up too soon.
@@davisholman8149 I agree, finding the right therapist can be very difficult. I've been there. I gave up. Ended up worse, had to start again was misdiagnosed, had a terrible time, but now if I don't feel comfortable, I change, even if I have to go to my Health insurance for it.
My experience with so-called psychiatrist with a major HMO who insisted on prescribing drugs and was angry with me for not already having a suicide plan in place. During my brief consultation, his supervisor interrupted to notify him if his promotion and congratulate him. The drug he prescribed helped me to understand why people do drugs. I can only describe the effect of the drug as my brain zinging to a different frequency, and sitting up all night feeling something crawling around in my brain. I've avoided talking to anyone in that field ever since; it's been a long healing journey.
One quick quibble- he's not an actual life coach, but the Chief Engagement Officer at a life coaching company. So basically a life coach to all the other life coaches. Ironically, a total lack of any qualifications or real life experiences makes him the perfect person for the job!
Hmm hey now that you've mentioned his job title, doesn't this sound like the guy whose sole job is to chase people to hit their sales target every month, and occasionally refer huge clients to the company for a commission.
@@rpd4278 He was in the military for a decade and has done lots of hands on charity work. I'm not a fan of the royals but the only joke here are the hateful spiteful comments in this comment section. Absolutely disgusting.

I love this no nonsense explanation! I imagine a few life coaches aren't too happy but who knew you're pouring out your innermost thoughts to people who have no formal qualifications.
Wow. I always thought the idea of a life coach was ridiculous, but I didn't realize that it was that much of a farce. To think I could have been life coaching for years now!
“Kind of like when someone calls themselves an actor or actress. Anybody can use that title even if they have no acting talent. For example, Megan Markle called herself an actress.” hahahahhahahahaha. I laughed so hard.
Perfectly said, I just sit back and watch the Megan and Harry show, they are like a sitcom that constantly make me want to turn the channel but they are on every channel. I wish they would go away as fast as they came in.

@@emiledarga9313 i was referncing how Dr Grande says something like that to preface many of his videos
@@auroram5853 Sorry, lol!
As someone who has had therapy from a licensed psychologist, I don’t understand how Harry can be qualified to give important help if he consistently blames others for his issues rather than looking into himself and how he can get healthy.
Exactly. He said in the Oprah interview that he was ashamed to ask for help for his supposedly suicidal wife. Then went on to blame his family for not helping them!! How could they help if he didn’t tell them? Yet this is the man who is chief impact officer for Better Up. Harry and his wife are charlatans out to make billions by passing themselves off as humanitarians, who cannot even get along with their own families.
BetterUp is to be blamed for any serious consequences because they appointed this ginger prince and gave him the right to coach others when he clearly needs help himself.
He barely scraped through his High School and had to cheat to pass 2 A Levels! He was held back a year at Eton as he just wasn't able to keep up with his peers! And this dolt is giving mental health advice!!! He needs to go get some treatment! 😏😏
But he is a prince so there's always the halo effect, I guess. But in reality he's just a quack.
4:30 "He knows what's best for everyone. At least in his own mind."
Harry is a lefty. Lefties are the "we-know-what's-best-for-everyone" people.
Only a Narcissist would offer life coaching without looking in the mirror.
No better nor worse than an old time snake oil salesman .
I giggled all the way through this. It's probably one of the most elaborate and effective displays of sarcasm I've witnessed in awhile.
Wasn't it just! And in that very level, almost deadpan voice! Hilarious!

😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg this muffler and car analogy is golden . I do a lot of training and use a lot of analogies but god ….. this is great
You need a video on the muffler analogy alone …… omg too funny
It is very sad that coaching, for many people, has replaced friendship, during which someone who truly cares for you, gives you advice, no charge. Bring back authentic, caring relationships.
I like you comment but how can we bring back authentic, caring relationships???
Funny you should say this as years ago while suffering severe depression and PTSD my therapist asked me why I was there. I replied that in this day and age we have to pay to have a friend to talk to...she was angered by this and became very critical of me after that. I now realize what a bad therapist she was.
Or just a mentor!
Good point. Thich Nhat Hanh said, if you need to go to a therapist, it's because there's no one in your house who will listen to you.
@@messengeroftruth17 for some things, that might be true, but also you shouldn’t expect your family or friends to be your only help through serious mental problems. Some things really need someone educated, trained, and *neutral* to guide you through. Your friends and family may love you, and want to help, but if they don’t actually understand your problem, or are possibly part of your problem, they’re of limited help
"Entitled, arrogant, disconnected from the experiences of real-world, lacking critical thinking skills, believes he has suffered tremendously and therefore he has the wisdom to give advice to others" That's true about a LOT of rich people
I fully agree . The guy got problems himself . Being in the military it was a good life experience for him to get over his mother's loss . But he is too weak and sensible to deal with mental health issues now. He is not made for that and his wife is pushing him deeper an deeper into these kind of choices. I think he needs a good mental counsellor or coach himself . His life choices were not good at all they were very poor. He is not able to pull himself out of it and he got no wisdom at all. He cannot train or coach people , He never attended a Medical University himself or any speciality in psychology or psychiatric field. He turned his back to his Grand Mother Her Majesty the Queen and to his whole Family and friends. This guy got mental dysfunctional issues himself. He is not a self made man who achieved success with his own means willing to share and coach others about how to be a successful man . He lives from inheritance . He is Unreliable , vulnerable and a weak person . We can see how he behaved with his family and his own brother and sister in low and his friends in UK and people who cared for him and loved him . He refused to work for the Crown and taking responsibilities. He dropped everything it was given to him . He felt from the grace .
But he has suffered. Growing up in the public eye having to deal with his parents public divorce and family drama, having a mother who was heavily scrutinised and mobbed at the same time the most beloved woman on earth, to then die and having to deal with public grief and the heavy burden of royal responsibilities is suffering in its own right!
@@berry6467 he is not the only one who lost his mother at an early age. No excuse . His brother Prince William he has grown up but Harry is still immature , vulnerable and on top of it he married a ruthless , vile and arrogant woman and he became arrogant too with his brother , sister in Low , with his family and cousins and friends from UK . He is a drama man married a drama woman Meghan . Ever since she came into the Royal family she did nothing but she create a massive drama around her . Her arrogance is rampant and he goes along with that .
@@gabriellazordan Agree. Drama Queen and Drama King. Perhaps they are actors after all.
@@Sooner-im9qf I think so they are preparing a Netflix movie script to launch and benefit from the huge profits in Hollywood by selling the rights to it .
I find it strange that a person who has always had every advantage handed to him, most of which he squandered or ignored, someone who has inadequate education, no life experience training, no idea of the reality of the average person's life is prepared to coach the rest of us on living life to the fullest. How incredibly arrogant.
Agree 100% plus
The Royals are kind of stupid.
Barbs, you took the words right out of my mouth!
How inredibly arrogant!!!!
Now take it a step further. The Queen is even more aloof and pampered. Royals have no business existing in the 21st century. The right to rule is based on magical thinking and elitism. They hate Harry because he is a reminder that they are nothing but leeches on the world. The Queen is not qualified to run a household, let alone a country. None of them are.
Get off your knees, UK, and tell this privileged family to pack their stuff, get jobs and leave.
Dr Grande's deadpan voice as he reads out the 'qualifications' for being a life coach is absolutely hilarious!

@@DeathOfARockStar Not true. He is allowed to keep the Duke of Sussex title and uses it everywhere he does business. Not kidding.
@@EP12 I've wondered about that. Is he also Prince Harry?
I knew a self-proclaimed “life coach.” She was living an easy life, knew how to get hired as a manager but not how to keep a job, and that was not a problem because her husband was very wealthy and hard-working. Life coach work gave her reassurance of her belief that she was doing better than others because she WAS better. Over a few years, she had a few clients who assumed her higher/end life style meant she knew how to succeed. If you need a therapist, hire a licensed therapist who has the education and training and is bound by ethical and legal standards. If you want to feed the ego of a privileged person who wants to play therapist at your expense without becoming credentialed, hire a life coach.
Interesting 🤔 I knew a woman exactly like that, really she was just pretending 🤪
yes. so true . they are everywhere.the worst is that there are a lot of new agers and energy healers and past life healers and they also are chiefs of ideas .now they say they are trama healers. they really mess up with you and they are extremely passive aggressive.we used to call these people in the past fortune tellers .now they changed their titles as mediums , psychics , then they became empaths then energy healers now trama healers. if you question them they hate you because they know that they are frauds and this is how they make money.
Right? Anyone can be a life coach.... It's easy to point out what everyone "should" do, not so easy to do it yourself!
@@amyjobernoski1024 yes , that's why their talks are always lame. they only use short sentences or gaslighting you .

Imagine having a life coach who's only job was being a prince and who was unwilling and unable to do it so he quit his job causing major havoc in their family.
Smells like great success 💪💪💪
I never consider even Oprah life coach, she is more lost than us all. People that have that kind of money don’t know what to do with themselves, because money wasn’t the answer to their hearts desire. They don’t know who they are, Oprah is old enough, but she is lost, she knows a lot, but knows nothing. And many people she had through the years on her show, are the same. They don’t know nothing as well, they just try life like everyone else. Charisma make them watchable, nothing else, never mind the ones that wind up worse than when they started.
@@laurenmay2098 yes indeed

@@craigfinnegan8534 yeah, I know people that turned their backs on their family, to never speak to them again. But one that went back or kept making money on their names, never. He is so lost, he is a boy, not a man. Poor rich boy.

😂😂😂. Oh,Dr Grande you’re the best ❤
"literally"?
He has zero credentials, zero training. He himself still needs to work on HIS mental health, not "instructing" others.
I have to admit. The analysis was very entertaining. The fact that dr. Grande can keep a straight face and spoke in the same tone while explaining all this in a comical way makes it even funnier.
He is the King of deadpan humor
You have to listen hard but it's immensely rewarding.
He actually wasn't able to maintain a straight face you can see some breaks in the video.
Exactly 💯
It's called irony
I had a Life Coach shame me for leaving a toxic relationship then proceeded to take total credit for the growth she saw in me. It was an obvious ploy to diminish my self-worth to make me a repeat customer.
This field really needs to be legislatively regulated.
Sounds familiar.
Mine sabotaged my pretty decent marriage and all my relationships. Encouraged my eating disorder.
Your very wise. How did you get hooked up with her?
Yep they want to take total credit for everything you did not what they did but you did happened to me 40 years ago and I walked out the door and never look back

Many a “life coach” have crossed my path in my 48 years… in various countries.
I am of the opinion that the people who find their career in “life coaching” - more often than not, are the people most in need of… life coaching.
The irony. 😐
I've always thought the same of the career counselors in my high school.
Soooo true!
Spot on!
Exactly this. I remember first hearing the term “life coach” as a legit job title I was shocked, amused, and disgusted all at the same time. As always though, I try to keep an open mind even if my brain is signaling nonsense. An open mind can help us see the other persons perspective, or even sway our own. In the case of “life coaching”, despite trying to be more inviting to the idea of it being a profession, and more sensitive to the ppl who claim to need it… I still feel the same disgust towards it.
I was raised poor, and after 2020 job losses, I’m back to being broke again. I see ppl who need life coaching as being part of a privileged class. A group of ppl with too much time and money on their hands, paired with no sense of purpose or direction. I see life coaches themselves as having the same issues; no real direction or purpose and usually from a life of excess or privilege. The title of life coach just bumps them up to a higher bracket of superiority lol.
That’s why I think you’re probably on to something here, which would explain why those who have called upon a life coach, often want to “graduate” to life coaching themselves. Narcissistic feedback loop maybe? Lol
@@dlxmarks idk I sat in a many of counselor offices in HS lol. I truly didn’t understand what their job was until I found out my close aunt was also a HS counselor.
The general public (myself included) see them as a therapist for the troubled kids. They really just seem to be used to schedule classes, coordinate things such as Jr ROTC, pre college classes for students, scholarship info, college entrance stuff, military ASVAB, etc. They are there to council students and direct them to their best possible course of action based on the students aspirations. It wasn’t until I was qualified to see the school psychologist that I realized “school counselor” was not synonymous with “therapist”. It only took me going to a mental hospital for two weeks before I was qualified… (and they wonder why we have so many school shootings…)
I really wish they would find a new title for that job position. Like HS Coordinator or something… Goals Management personnel… 🤣 anything but student counselors

Not only that: Meghan has little to no talent.
Oops; Dr. G just alluded to that fact.
I almost spit out my drink. “Master life coach is something much different. You have to say, “I am a master life coach.””
There is a particular psychological aspect Harry doesn’t understand about what the majority of people face. Harry will never struggle to find employment and therefore an income like 99% of people. The psychological impacts of this reality are a divide he cannot nor will not with any sincerity understand.
Yeah he is really out of touch with the entitlement and self-importance. He called it “bonkers” that regular people have freedom of speech here. They were also sending letters to outlets saying that allowing people to criticize to them online was damaging their so-important, “charitable” work, acting like he’s so much more important than others he shouldn’t even be criticized. It’s much different other places. In the UK, you can go to jail if you offend someone in the wrong group and they perceive what you said or did as hateful, or for things like offensive Facebook posts.. You’re also put on a list that employers check, basically labeled a hateful bigot even if it’s a “non-crime hate incident”, no trial, nothing.

Imagine being born into absolute fame and wealth, never actually having to work for anything, and thinking you have room to 'life coach' people. These are the people who would need a life coach if they didn't have everything set out for them from the gate.
I’m retired and this whole “life coaching” business recalls the worst aspects of corporate life. It’s mostly nonsense but the suits in upper management and HR love this stuff. In reality, try telling your boss that you will miss that deadline because you’re taking time off for “self care.”
As always, follow the money.
It’s like being a Diversity Manager. I can do that job easily, I would just tell management to employ fewer white people. Easy, job done.
An ex of mine worked in HR and by extension, became a self titled 'life coach'.. Ironically the least qualified person for that position in life... Maybe after 10 years in therapy?
I'm retired from corporate meat grinder too. Sometimes seems like it was in the nick of time. Call it career or job coaching, but hands off my life when I'm not on the clock.
You're a manager. You get laid off. You decide to become a life coach.

To be fair, if you are in acting you are an actress, whether that's in a local panto or amateur dramatic society, a West end theatre production or in TV adverts. There's no issue with using the word actress to describe what she did.

Harry was not only born to a life of privilege, he was born to a life of duty. He wants to use his title to Garner celebrity friends and business contacts, however, he doesn't want to abide by the rules of the royal family. Harry, in my opinion, is a sloped brat who is nothing more than a narcissistic attention seeker. He complained about racism within the royal household, yet he actually went to a party dressed in a Nazi uniform. The best thing anyone can do for him, is to ignore him. Perhaps then, he might actually get a real job.
The saddest thing about the royal family is that they are not too bright
@@joannesterling7905 That's very true, but don't forget that they don't need to be bright or clever. It's all about the image.
@@joannesterling7905 I think intelligence would probably be a negative in the Royal Family. What would they do with it?
Better attributes would be empathy, insight and critical thinking. And a dollop of common sense.
he is a con married to another.
I wonder, do you think that it is Harry who wants to use his title to get celebrity friends and business contacts or do you think it is Meghan who wants to use his title to get celebrity friends and business contacts? Do you think it is Harry who is the narc or Meghan? Before Harry married Meghan I don't think he behaved like this. After he married her I think he largely fell in with her behaviours. At the wedding Harry had his family and friends on his side. Meghan had celebrity "friends" and business contacts whom she barely knew on her side. Other than her mother she didn't have a single close personal friend or relation there (except for some Canadian woman who she has now split from and doesn't speak to).
I’m LMAO when Dr Grande said “ get business cards made with your name in it and list the words life coach”. This is why I love this channel. The humor is wonderful.
My favorite line is Duke of Nonsense.
Life coaches really think they are special, as if no one can do what they can. Most are bullshitters who never decided on a real career.

After my husband died I was really lost so I found a Life Coach in my area. She's a lovely lady but I soon realized that she had so many of her own personal problems, that I really wondered how she could be advising anybody else on how to live. I found myself giving her advice especially on men and relationships. Lol!!
I think that's what Harry would be like, and someone certainly needs to give him some real advice, but his wife has him locked into her puppet strings...
I went to a marriage coach to save my marriage. It was too late when I learned that the coach was divorced. Lesson learned: Do you research first.
@@franrub9234 it is ok if the coach is divorced (not). Just like a celibate priest giving advice on marriage!!
I can totally believe this happened. The idea of a life coach sounds great, and I can completely understand the drive to help others; but, as said in a previous comment, there isn't really a governing body to define life coaching, like a board of medicine or nursing, so accountability is severely lacking. I'm a behavioral health nurse having worked with many traumatized, depressed and anxious people. Shouldn't I be qualified to give advice or coaching to others with the same problems? Not really. Imo, even social workers are not qualified to administer therapy, though social workers can legally be hired as counselors or establish their own counseling practice. Coaching, counseling, therapy, call it what you will, requires lengthy, specialized training. It is in no way just "giving advice", though many people think advice is what they need when searching for a coach, therapist, counselor. A therapist is trained to guide someone through a process of finding his or her own answers instead of just telling that person what to do (advice giving). There's a reason they are called therapists and not advisors.
@@Watcher6868 It may look similar, but it's not the same. The first one aligns with your moral values and has nothing to do with anything other than your/couple's spiritual wellbeing, while the second is more about business transactions. Therapy is something you go to, pay for, and leave as soon as the time is up. Hedonistic self-centeredness is more prevalent, sometimes without even considering consequences.
I lost a child a couple of years ago, but I don’t think it makes me an expert at helping people deal with loss.
The only advice I’d ever give is, don’t let others determine when it’s time to get on with your life.
I’m sorry for your loss..
My heart goes out to you. You're SO right about honoring your own grief. God bless you. 🙏
I never knew being a 'Life Coach' was so lawless....
You made such an important point when you said "All the gatekeeping that exists in the Mental Health industry, does not apply to the world of life coaching."
Such a great video Dr. Grande! ♡♡
Actually not all that impressed by the gatekeeping in the mental health field either.
Some mental health practitioners aren't psychologists, they are "therapists", often social workers. I had one that definitely had some kind of personality disorder.
It's the Wild West out there
Charisma is the gatekeeper for public/motivational speaking haha
Not all life coaches are bad. I’m a life coach and certified. If I get a client who needs a therapist instead of a coach I’ll refer this client. And I’ll always mention that I’m a coach and not a therapist. I work with paint and intuition and have helped many people to find their life purpose and live a happier life.
Having said all that there are a lot of unethical coaches out there. Look for a coach who is a member of the International Coach Federation and upholds their ethics.
A woman in my friendship group is a 'Life Coach'. When she was less than 2 months sober, she self-published a dreadful 'life experience' book on Amazon Kindle, and proceeded to market herself as a 'Best Selling Author' with 'years of experience in addiction and sobriety'. Her life was a genuine mess, and she was charging people a fortune to be their 'coach.' I couldn't believe someone with absolutely no qualifications, experience, or even background checks was allowed to have that kind of position of influence and power over highly vulnerable people.
lmao "years of experience in addiction and sobriety" is such a snakey marketing move.
Because you sure as hell don’t sound like a person I want to be friends with in a FRIENDSHIP GROUP. THATS FOR DAMN SURE……….
@@Herstyleseduier Would you rather be friends with the charlatan life coach rather than the clear eyed observer of the charlatan? Without realising it you must be one of the highly vulnerable people these life coaching quacks have power over.
I knew of a “sober” wanna be life coach. Do you really want advice from a person who needs a ‘life coach’ herself?
Those are usually the same ones the bs through theor livez.
I went to the unemployment office and told them I was a "life coach". One of the employees there was laughing so hard that they had to call emergency services, before I was escorted out by security! What shall I do now, Harry? I have been tapping my shoulders red raw but still no money...Can I come to live with you in Monteschitzo? I'll only need the one bathroom!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I AM RECOMMEND a comedy routine on YT...you are GOOD.
I think sometimes I could benefit from a Life Coach, in the same way pretty much anyone might benefit from honest observation and feedback, but I think that the only qualification really needed would be a reasonably functional person that is just "not me" who can utilize the 4 or 5 steps of the "problem solving approach". . Someone who can just look and give feedback from the outside. Not to undermine, maybe there is more to it for those who are good at it. I would imagine that psychology or even formal special ed knowledge might be helpful, bc of the strategies that could be used. and individualized. But I'd be running the other way if they got flakey w spiritual universe energy talk that Dr. G mentioned!
The problem is that you're not a certified, super-dooper, Jedi master life coach.

As a licensed mental health professional, what worries me is what do these “coaches” do when they get in over their heads? Do they even recognize a suicidal or homicidal individual? My long-time mantra has been “And Then What?”
Good point
My question as a registered nurse was to ask 'and what are you going to tell the coroner?'
My life coach encouraged my eating disorder, gave me tips on getting stimulants but not addressing or getting help for my anxiety. and she advised pushing away my family, bestie & husband if they distracted from "the goals". My bosses loved it. I was focused. I was productive.
Obviously, everything else in my life suffered.
I think there is a real place for legitimate life coaching but it seems to fall more in the occupational therapy model or a licensed therapist.
@@rosemarycornwall5162 one of the psychiatrists that I worked with for many years would listen to suicidal patients saying all would be ok because they would go to heaven and see so and so, etc. His comeback on that was …”but what if you’re wrong?” The response from the patient was usually silence and hesitation as in “Gee, I never thought of that.”
Good Question
A work colleague of mine decided to set herself up as a life coach. The problem I saw with the idea was that her own life was a total disaster.
I guess it's a problem that begets itself..."my life is a disaster...how to solve it...I know, get rich by being a life coach!" 🤦♀️
Many if not all life coaches are troubled individuals, know nothing about life, recited few mantras and people that are very needy gets hooked.

As an English man and a Royalist who has followed the monarchy all my life my take on this is quite simple. Born as what is known as "The Spare" to "The Heir" when he left the army which he loved, he could find no purpose being a member of an ancient institution. Meeting a middling actress who could see the personal advantage of a title he fell for her charm and good looks. However finding the monarchy was far from actors playing a role and acting "normally "off camera , she became disillusioned at having to live within the restraints and convinced him to leave this restrictive life to be able to find his "True" calling in the same way his mother had. Maybe she even thought she could become asbeloved world wide as Princess Diana. Their endeavours so far seem to have been viewed as spilling family secrets for money and Harry being blinded by the the interest in his title. Companies and individuals are using him like PT Barnham would have used John Merrick had he bought him over to the USA in the 19th century. His wife is in her element as she is used to being in the spotlight and has garnered more popularity than if she had won an Oscar or two. He also seems to have the impression that he is punching above his weight married to a beautiful actress and accepts her advice and seeks her assurance every step of the way.
However he was not educated as any normal person would be. Royals of his level are there to serve their country from birth until death, it's an outdated but undeniable truth. He has shown up his naivety, lack of understanding and his born arrogance in such a way as to damage himself and maybe in the long-term the monarchy itself. In all honesty I can't see this ending happily for him, his wife or their children.
Well said!!🇬🇧
Agree
I'm an Englishman and a republican (lowercase 'R'!) I agree with your analysis, but I'm just lovin' the burn.
I met Harry in a pub in Earls Court Road in 2009. It was near closing time that an entourage of casual but well-dressed men began to filter into the pub and a few minutes later he came in and soon he had a pint in his hand. I don't think many people noticed him and those who did left him alone. I proceeded to leave at closing time and on my way out approached him and introduced myself as a London Australian, shaking his hand and wishing him well. It was all very brief. I later felt that I should have left him alone too.
I have never been a fan of most of the recent members of the British monarchy but for the most part I did not really care ( I am from Germany) but since she came into the picture even I have started defending them. I am older and I remember how the press even in Germany attacked Kate for alledgley trying to get a prince no matter what it took, like being cheated on and William not wanting her etc etc..Not once did she complain to the Press or showed the struggles she had.That is why the public perception of her changed, by the couple working hard in the " jobs" and " positions" that life has determined for them.Trying to see it as a privilege. Markle is such a stereotype of a superficial, unthankful , disrespectful, greedy " new rich" ( that's how we call it if one translates it word by word😁) that it's hard to believe that someone fitting the meaning of that German term so perfectly, really exists .People have given Harry a pass for his displays of immaturity in his past because it was in a - refreshing , childlike way compared to Charles for example and he is not the successor anyways, who in contrast fulfills his role and married a woman who trys to support him in any way she can.But now it is open for anyone to see that thanks to the other members his character trades were softened and covered and he tried to do his part.."The duchess" boosts these traits and uses his trauma to milk him and secure her financial status and need for public attention that would have eventually decreased as a soap opera actress with growing age..Terrible that he doesn't see at his age that it's all a big money scheme starting with his wife and the whole "industry" blowing steam up his behind to make money and then once he served their purpose or better said doesn't anymore , both Meghan and the companies move on to squeeze next person.His kids will probably be next ...
As an MFT clinician, I found your review both hilarious and precisely accurate. Thank you. Harry needs to see a therapist who can help him. He is a lost puppy
If he sees Dr. Grande, Todd will have to stop talking about him.

You must have had to do a few double takes because this was like an oustanding, stand-up routine! I'd love to watch it again and count the number of times you said 'life coach' but dude, you nailed it. You called out this chicanary of a 'business' for what it is and maybe people will think a little longer and harder before they put themselves in the hands of a 'Lifetime, Gold Member, One of a Kind, Certified in certification Life Coach'!
Spot on! Hilarious. 👍🏻

I agree !
Yes, but the business card should say, "Life Coach and Psychic."
@Dearbhla McArdle -I think you meant to say that Dr. Grande might've had to do "a few *takes"* when filming certain parts. A "double-take" is a _delayed reaction_ to something unexpected, immediately _after_ one's _first reaction._
I laughed so hard when you said it's a completely different story to be a Certified Master Life Coach. That means you have to add two words 'Master and Certified' and that requires a major commitment. 'Maybe you need to consult the Universe'. What makes it so funny is that you say it all with a straight face and no extra intonation in your voice. I couldn't stop laughing. Thanks for that.

This reminds me of how the school principal at my former school would print "awards" for himself or for the school. He was actually was phenomenal principal but just simply did this to be funny. He made awards like "Best Fire Drills" then ask a firefighter to take a picture with him holding the award. He would send the picture to other school principals as a joke. He was just being funny but I think he was also making a good point about how easily people can just decide to give themselves a prestigious label and there will be people who fall for it. I do think a lot of people out there do not take life coaches less seriously than trained psychologists or mental health professionals that that is truly scary.

Thanks for covering this topic. As someone who experience severe abuse as a child I have gone through several approaches in educating myself to self help. Unfortunately, I stepped off the path to healing a couple years ago and went for life coaching. Within 3 years I’d spend a huge amount of money and became completely confused in self responsibly for drawing my stepfather to abuse me and beyond. Long story short, I recovered with help of my former psychiatrist and a certified ptsd theraptist with the same office and my meds are fine now and lower than before. Please people get qualified mental health help just as you would have a broken arm set by a qualified physician. I think it boarders on criminal for “life coaches“ to advise unsuspecting innocent people in ways that put guilt, shame and mental anguish on their plates without any care or responsibility of harming them emotionally. How these people face themselves in the mirror is beyond me. My life coach is probably famous but I found has only a high school education and has natural ability in sales rather than caring to heal broken lives.
Hope life continues to improve for you, best of luck
I think an effective life coach would teach you what you need to own (your life from here on) and what you should NOT own (creep's predatory behavior that hurt you). But a mental health therapist should also do just that. I'm glad you got it straightened back out and have been able to continue healing.
Buyer beware!
Life coaches can be good....or not. There are "on line certification" programs: the industry IS VERY open to ***holes everywhere. Then there are very good, expensive programs. I considered this field as a possibility upon my retirement until I discovered the fluidity of experience/ professional development
@Taluta I know it's probably little consolation. I also had my sanity, childhood, mojo, vibe, energy, faith in humanity, faith in "God" etc, stolen from me at an early age. I'll spare you the depressing details and how catastrophic my derailment was.
Do you mind my asking what med(s) you are taking? I've taken so many over the years that I can't even remember them all. None were very helpful, and some had AWFUL side effects.

There was a time when ‘life coaches’ would be our elders in the family, people who had lived their lives, gone through ups and downs, and learnt through tons of real life experience. Generally speaking their advice would always be to err on the side of caution, spend more time in prayer and generally tell you to be simpler and humbler in life. Now it’s just the opposite…
Exactly., The more we lose on family and values., The more we get into mental health issues
@@brindhasiva75 Agree. Totally. We need our proper families back, where life coaches were parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles and FREE.
Many families and, therefore family members, are a hot mess. I agree that it would be amazing for family members to serve theses roles and provide this support, but for many, it’s not an option. Family members can be hurtful and cause harm. This is a sad but true fact. If that’s not you, count your blessings.
@@purpleflows5680 Not my experience. In my day, the majority of families seemed to be fine. People tolerated each other and got on with things. They were happy. Now being happy seems so complicated. And 'hot messes'? Never came across one.
The new trend is for people who are having issues (millennials approaching 40) to disengage completely from their parents and grandparents. I have actually read lines on 'self-help' websites that state 'Your parents chose to have you. It was their responsibility to ensure you had a happy life.' If you are unhappy as you approach middle age, it is all due to the emotional abuse you suffered as a child. Emotional abuse being anything that made you feel bad. Emotional abuse is parents not understanding or knowing the true intentions of your 5 year old self. Not only are you encouraged to cut your aging parents/grandparents out of your life, but you are told it is not up to you to reconcile with them. 'Even though you are an adult, you are still the child and they are still the parent, and therefore the parent must take complete responsibility in making amends for your toxic childhood.' You know.......when daddy told you to shut up and sit down and eat your peas. Ruined you for life. The endgame is that the millennial will never have to worry about taking care of their elders in later years. Signed, Master Certified Life Coach.
I watched a few life coaches on UA-cam and quickly realized the damage that can be done. As a person with mental health issues I know how vulnerable we can be to people who think they have all the answers.
Excellent point!
Sure. Many depressed people do not know they are depressed. If they were diagnosed and treated, their lives could be so much more fulfilling.
People with mental health issues should be seeing a therapist, not a life coach. Or both. One to help sort their mental health issues, and the other to help make headway in their professional lives or reach other goals.
In both cases you need to find GOOD practitioners.
@@robinrubendunst869 they should but most don't. They're afraid of seeking help because they care what other people may think. In some cultures it's seen as being weak or "crazy" and they're afraid of that stigma. 😔
@@robinrubendunst869 A good example of how life coaching can gloss over a serious issue is when one thinks using positive affirmations will help enough to change one's life. A psychiatrist would question what the specific underlying issues are that led the patient to repeating affirmations. When you think about it, this encompasses the problem with life coaching. It's just so superficial and ineffective.

Love this content. I'm always trying to figure out how people so distant from everyday reality sell themselves as life coaches.
To each his own
Because they have no other way of making money. Or they are lazy-"coaching" is a nothing "job"
I bet all of his advice is "why weren't you simply just born into a royal family?" lol
@@Aaron-kj8dv and "have you tried not being poor?" lol
Haaaaaaaa. Touché.
It is one of my greatest frustrations as a psychotherapist (who has spent many years and dollars qualifying to be a professional practicing legally and ethically) to have clients come to me after spending thousands (charging far more than psychotherapists in my area charge) on "trauma life coaches" to deal with complex trauma. The encroachment of "life coaches" into the field of mental health is an insidious erosion of the gravitas that is required to treat addiction and mental illness. If I could report these fraudulent and unqualified "coaches" for practicing beyond their scope of competence I would, but they have NO governing body. They aren't required to have an education, licensing, registration, supervision or have malpractice insurance. That should be a red flag to anyone tempted to find a cheer leader who dabbles in "helping people".
These PR companies should be prosecuted. People like Meghan should be arrested and charity’s that misguide or misuse for enriching themselves using mental health should be prosecuted and banned
Another excellent comment, wow! I will keep my eye out for your user name now.
So did you save those people that came to you?
Agreed. Just like I can't stand life coaches writing self help books. The path to success, happiness, and healing looks different to different people. They are people with no credentials telling others what to do. If you are having issues with mental help, seek an actual licensed mental health professional. If Prince Harry wants to help, he should go to school and obtain the proper education.
I'm so glad you made this comment. It's imperative that people understand that these so called life coaches do not have the experience, knowledge or training to deal with the very broad range of traumas that may come their way. I truly believe they are at risk of causing a greater amount of harm than they may intend.
Dr Grande, you are the essence of understatement.
I love the dry delivery of the part about qualification criteria for a life coach. Best stand up I've seen in a long time. Life coaching is a scam.
The ability to say, ‘I am a Master Life coach’ over and over with a straight face is a true
Life skill! Maybe you could capitalize on that, monetize a course, and certify people with a sense of humor. Your videos are entertaining! Thank you!
@@paul2019monte I am one who retired, went back to school to get licensed as a counselor, and was able to spend 10 years or so helping people. It was very satisfying, but taking on the responsibility without the education and backing of colleagues is downright reckless.
@@psingerman4778 Thank you for taking this undertaking seriously and pursuing it with the weight it deserves. You show respect to those people coming to you for help.
Agree 😆
You almost had it Angela. You can do it..."I am a Master CERTIFIED Life Coach!".
Let’s not forget Oprah gave us Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, and gave Jenny McCarthy a huge platform for her anti-vaccine platform. She has given quacks a huge audience.
Quacks...😅🤣🦆
Exactly. Oprah doesn't have the critical thinking skills to, as Dr. Carl Sagan said, detect bullshit.
I'm so glad you mentioned the Big O. She globs on to anything and anyone that can keep her in the spotlight. Does anyone remember the dude she endorsed with her book club who was a "supposed " recovered drug addict who had root canals done on his teeth " without anesthesia" . Big O had to eat crow on that one 🤣
(And don't forget the dwarf-tossing show early in her career.)
Oprah is very good at what she does. Early in her career she interviewed the late, great Frank Muir and deeply impressed him. Unfortunately she’s too gullible and too willing to promote potentially dangerous nonsense.
Being born a royal is a real trap for the ego. It must be impossible for a royal not to become narcissistic.
the biggest trauma Harry has experienced is marriage to Markle, she is so narcissistic that he has no chance to process her BS.
I think the biggest trauma
he faced was when his mother died and he was so young.
As a Brit, he's your problem now 🤣. This guy failed art at school, how is that even possible?
Well, I managed to fail at art school because I have zero talent for art. Just like millions of other people on this Earth.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was no Van Gogh
...hitler failed as an artist so......🤔
lol i a dying
A brilliant, insightful, funny and satirical analysis. If only it wasn’t also 100% accurate. Good job Dr Grande!
Dr Grande speaks truth
But actual psychotherapy isn't a science either
At. . 2 extra words. . I spat my coffee out... 🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious! ….love it
Sign that says, "Life coach Parking." Master Life Coach... massive commitment. Thanks for the best part of my day today.. Your dry delivery had me in stitches.
I love your humor DrG! I always wondered if life coaches were certified or not. Thank you for explaining this and making me smile too!
Great video! As funny as usual and well documented!
I think Dr. G. mhave a future in Stand Up. His deadpan delivery cracks me up!
I was laughing out loud. Seriously though, I’m sure, as a professional, trained therapist, Dr. Grande gets very frustrated by unqualified people trying to pass themselves off as mental health professionals, even if they mask it with titles like “Life Coach”. Many people assume that someone with one of those fancy titles certainly must have certain knowledge and education to merit that. It’s a sham. The lesson here is, you’re better off seeking out a real mental health professional rather than some amateur who is winging it. There are even trained counselors who, while not at the same level as a psychiatrist or psychologist, still have some education to actually provide professional guidance.
@@jeanieolahful He maybe has been advised not to take the arduous academic training to become a counselor or psychotherapist. He can't do it. All he is fit for is to exploit his unearned fame and to be somebody else's representative, just as he was in his work in the Royal Family. Once a representative, always a representative!
A “life coach” did so much damage to my sisters friend that she had to go to therapy.
Life coaching is a feeder industry for the therapy industry.
The condescension when explaining what it takes to become a life coach, is palpable. I usually don’t appreciate dry humor much, but this channel is pure gold. As someone who has worked in mental health for over 15 years. I have the same sentiments towards life coaches. I also think human understanding of mental health is infantile at best. Cheers!
We dont even know 1 percent about brain function. We know nothing about mental health. Recently it was revealed lack of neurotransmitters and the reuptake inhibitors are jot the cause and cure
Winning races by running slower - OMG. Enthralled by your presentations sir - every one pure GOLD!.
This guy Deadpans! His dry wit is life!
This is the most balanced analysis of Harry I've ever heard. No mudslinging and no sugarcoating, simply stating it as it is and moving on to Better Up.
As both a therapist and coach, I approve this video.
😂😂😂 as a frequent viewer of this channel, I was NOT ready for the “what makes you a life coach” and “life coach vs. master certified” analysis! Shaaaady and I LOVE it 😂 thank you for the laughs on what can be a topic that makes me grumpy
As an expat of Southern California, I found this Dr. Grande episode to be so, so freaking funny! Really very clever. So spot-on!
Brings back many fond and funny memories from socializing with folks of this ilk.
One jaw-dropping experience was hanging out with a fellow mom of a 5-year-old kid. We're out enjoying a sunny day at the park with our kids. Her son finds a nickel on the ground. He's having his "Oh, wow!" moment. The mom becomes overjoyed as this teachable-moment unfolds, and excitedly exclaims: "Look what the universe gave you!!"
Indoctrination....😳 😬
I believe that Harry irrespective of privilege, pomp and glory had many challenges while having a mother who was desperately unhappy in the triangle of Charles and Camilla. Then losing his mother in such a tragic and sudden way must have been very traumatic. In addition, having to contain all those emotions with a stiff British upper lip at 12 yrs old.
Yet. I don't believe that this certifies him to become a Master Life Coach and mess with other individuals' mental health when he himself isn't stable or particularly clear where he stands in relation to himself and his family. A royally sad state of affairs.
Why everyone afraid to mention that his father his mother horse coach with red hair and being on public eye all his life and his mother cheating!!! Lol. I am sure Harry just tired and have a lot problems with not being biological son of Charles!!! Why people afraid to say that king is naked and keep pretending!! Harry knows that everyone playing game !
Yet I still see Harry’s devastated face at his mother’s funeral and I still feel so sorry for that little boy.
William had exactly the same challenges but has dealt with them completely differently. There is only two years between them in age.
I am a big fan, BIG fan. Such lovely droll humour. FYI, I am now a master certified life coach.
Sorry but I am a Master Life Coach...uncertified granted.......ALL I did was just to raise 3 screaming babies to good functioning ADULTS now I am certified NOT no we add my grandchildren I am double certified. Oh boy why do you ignore me!!!
BRAVO! A great analysis Dr. G. Your humour was abundant in speaking about Harry. You clearly defined that Harry is totally unqualified for the path that he is on and most of us realized this. I'd say that Life Coaching needs government regulation and certification. Otherwise many will be suckered in to hear about direction, from a person with zero credentials.
Agree 💯
@@tangogent Haters gonna hate.
@@evmcelroy yes, Henry Albert David Battenburg Windsor A. k. A the na’zi uniform wearing prince is the biggest hater of them all .
Great comment !
@@evmcelroy This has nothing to do with hating anyone. If you are not educated and licensed to do a job that deals with people minds, you shouldn't be doing it.
In my area of the world, "Life Coaches" are mostly people that went to school for mental health counseling but couldn't pass certification tests. Or, they formerly worked as a mental health counselor but had their license taken away. Or, they dropped out of school before graduating and know a little bit about counseling. Also, the whole frequency waves/alternative meds/magical thinking/apothecary and essential oils seems to be included.
Hahaha! You’re so right about that.
Or some who just got sick of the restrictions. After all, a Life Coach can say "just do that," whereas a therapist mostly just points you in a direction.
It is not regulated in the US and anyone can become a life coach. No education is required which certainly applies to HazNo.
They're what dental hygienists are to medical practitioners. Like the anti-dentite seinfeld joke, what do you call a failed doctor? a dentist...
Unfortunately they are not.
I spent a great deal of time avoiding psychologists and psychiatrists and relied on self-help resources because I felt like admitting I had an illness made me weak. This was over 10 years ago and can see now how damaging it was for me rely on those resources instead of seeking proper treatment.
I do admire that some of these coaches are trying to help people but it very much teeters on the edge of interfering with proper mental health treatment.
Actually there are some more ethical coaches who would really refer their clients for treatment and would serve as a source of support and advocate for the treatment.
My experience has been the exact opposite. I've had several therapists, and the only thing any of them said to me that helped me is that I had all the answers to my problems.
@@craigfinnegan8534 I felt I knew as much or more than the therapists I tried. They were no more helpful than my friends. I realize one has to try many in order to find the right fit for your issues. Perhaps an gave up too soon.
@@davisholman8149 I agree, finding the right therapist can be very difficult. I've been there. I gave up. Ended up worse, had to start again was misdiagnosed, had a terrible time, but now if I don't feel comfortable, I change, even if I have to go to my Health insurance for it.
My experience with so-called psychiatrist with a major HMO who insisted on prescribing drugs and was angry with me for not already having a suicide plan in place. During my brief consultation, his supervisor interrupted to notify him if his promotion and congratulate him. The drug he prescribed helped me to understand why people do drugs. I can only describe the effect of the drug as my brain zinging to a different frequency, and sitting up all night feeling something crawling around in my brain. I've avoided talking to anyone in that field ever since; it's been a long healing journey.
Another master piece of analysis!
One quick quibble- he's not an actual life coach, but the Chief Engagement Officer at a life coaching company. So basically a life coach to all the other life coaches. Ironically, a total lack of any qualifications or real life experiences makes him the perfect person for the job!
Not to mention his education level is that of a high school diploma. He's a joke!
Hmm hey now that you've mentioned his job title, doesn't this sound like the guy whose sole job is to chase people to hit their sales target every month, and occasionally refer huge clients to the company for a commission.
@@rpd4278 He was in the military for a decade and has done lots of hands on charity work. I'm not a fan of the royals but the only joke here are the hateful spiteful comments in this comment section. Absolutely disgusting.
@@suras8984 Ahh yes, all the "charity" bombs his military sent down on the heads of humans in their own damn countries in the Near-East; what a bunch of sweethearts!
@@rpd4278 He went to war college in the military. He's not dumb.
trouble with H&M is that all their endeavors seem to have $ being the end result (for them), unlike his mother who even after divorce undertook or continued her advocacy that didn't have a fiscal windfall - she campaigned against landmines; support for HIV/Aids & Leprosy patients & care; solutions to homelessness
Yes she was a true humanist.
Good comment.
He’s nothing like Lady Di.
oh the BS
A few photo-ops doesn't make a humanist.
I love this no nonsense explanation! I imagine a few life coaches aren't too happy but who knew you're pouring out your innermost thoughts to people who have no formal qualifications.
great sense of humor... much needed in these challenging times ❤
Wow. I always thought the idea of a life coach was ridiculous, but I didn't realize that it was that much of a farce.
To think I could have been life coaching for years now!
“Kind of like when someone calls themselves an actor or actress. Anybody can use that title even if they have no acting talent. For example, Megan Markle called herself an actress.”
hahahahhahahahaha. I laughed so hard.
Or a life coach. 😂😂😂
OMG, hahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣
She is a terrible actress I must say 😂
That was a helluva burn! 😂
Coach😂😂😂
Your level of benign sarcasm gives me life in a way my career, husband and 4 children are unable to. Bravo! ❤️❤️😂
Perfectly said, I just sit back and watch the Megan and Harry show, they are like a sitcom that constantly make me want to turn the channel but they are on every channel. I wish they would go away as fast as they came in.
