I'm attempting to acquire a more positive impression of coaching as a concept. Do you have any positive experiences with coaches, of whatever sort you'd like to tell me about?

Yeah. I do a lot of what is essentially reciprocal peer coaching with friends. I can see some benefits to doing it professionally instead or as well, but I don't think they're benefits I personally need.
That being said, I think often therapy is "telling you things you already know" in the sense that it's helping you realise that you already know them and then articulate them better than you'd be able to do without support so that you can act on them.

I went to a peer support centre once in uni to try to get some help for a friend who was in a bad situation me: "what can I do to support her?" peer listener: "what do you think?" me: "well I really came here for some expert advice..." them: "we're not allowed to give advice"
