BTW, I don't mean to disparage the general idea of a life coach. I know some people who have used them with highly positive effects. They can be a more affordable way to get impartial feedback and help accomplishing goals, like the mental equivalent of getting a trainer to help with physical health.

It's just that I wouldn't be too concerned about the possible conflict of interest with a healthcare professional where I am officially a patient and have HIPAA protections. However, I would be concerned about possible motives and conflict of interest with a company-provided life coach, who is not necessarily bound by any privacy rules.
