The task of the life coach is not to analyse the client, but to work with the client to understand his or her perceptions, the underlying beliefs and attitudes that may be creating barriers to personal wellbeing and contentment. In this work, the life coach needs to harness the cooperation of the client, who may initially resist all suggestions of faulty or limiting perceptions. Some reasons that we resist changing our perceptions are: laziness (because it takes effort), confusion or uncertainty, fear of conflict with those who share our old perceptions, fear of change itself, and desire for certainty and psychological comfort.
