Based on the very idea of philotherapy, the coaching approach is not limited to the concept of general optimization or adaptation (coping). 

Instead, it will raise the awareness of individual strengths to be utilized to achieve one's own goals. 

Building on this, the key aspects of philotherapeutic coaching can be summarized as follows.

GOAL SETTING

Personal goal setting is seen as a natural part of a fulfilling life. This means setting one's own goals should not only be realistic, but also not compromise one's own convictions. As in philotherapy itself, successful coaching is also about congruence. Those who consistently overtax their personal integrity weaken themselves and lose their footing. Therefore, it is necessary to accept failure and dissent as part of life and an important step toward future success..

If it doesn’t kill me, it only makes me stronger.

COMPROMISE

A good compromise is like a good life. It enriches you personally. It is a curse of our times to view maximum profit and highest efficiency as a key to personal happiness. The task of good coaching is to recognize the value of any given compromise, rather than feeling pressured into it. Every compromise holds a value shared by both parties which underscores the affirmative power of human interaction.

There is no good life 

without compromise.

REFRAMING

Why do media outlets spread so much bad news every day? This simple question highlights the need for a shift in perspective, which is Reframing. The world is not bad simply because there are bad things happening within it. Whether in our personal or professional lives, we should never lose sight of the good things occurring at the very same moment bad news reach us.

The good life is a matter of perspective.
