What People Are Saying…
Thank you very much for everything these past few years. We were most definitely BURNT OUT. I felt that you knew what we are going through, and that you could help us navigate out of this mess. Without you, I’d be way worse. You were the life preserver when the waves were drowning me.
“Before coaching, I was extremely depressed and low. I can now do my work with a clear mind and be reasonably happy. Coaching helped me recognize my worth and why my children and partner react the way they do…and that it has nothing to do with me. I have peace again. I have hope again! It’s worth every penny!”
Trauma-Informed Life Coaching
What Is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is a forward-looking, solution-focused process of transformation and empowerment. It isn’t a treatment program and there is no assumption that anything is wrong with you (except that you’ve been through a lot!) Rather, life coaching is a partnership of support, direction, and action.
My job as a coach is to guide you through the process of discovering your own right answers and then support you as you take action and implement them in your family and life. I educate and train when needed, but I also firmly believe that YOU are the best expert on your own life and family…even if you don’t know it yet.
What Is Trauma?
The word “trauma” refers to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms a person’s ability to process, cope or respond effectively. In short, trauma is unfinished emotional business and undigested life experiences. It doesn’t really matter whether it happened yesterday or several decades ago. The wounds and usually unhealthy adaptations we make around it will linger until they are healed.
Trauma can result from a single event such as a car accident or natural disaster or a series of repeated events such as war, or domestic violence. Generally speaking, the younger a person is when the trauma happens, the more significant and long-lasting the impact will be. However, adult trauma can be just as real, just as significant, and sadly, often rests on top of a lifetime of hidden traumas that are still alive and active.
Traumatic experiences can vary widely in their nature and intensity. Many of us have our own “little t” traumas that resulted from teasing, bullying, put-downs, or being ignored as kids. Others may have “BIG T” traumas such as abuse of any kind, neglect, prenatal drug or alcohol exposure, or abandonment.
The outcome of the situation and whether it imprints as trauma largely depends on the individual’s resilience and personality, but even more so on the amount of support from others they’ve had along the way to help them work through things. Unfortunately, most of us have never had nearly enough.
What Is Trauma-Informed Coaching?
Trauma-informed coaching is a specialized form of life coaching that recognizes the impact of trauma on an individual’s life. Both “Big T ” and “little t” traumas can leave psychological and emotional scars that can last a lifetime and interfere with every aspect of life.
Trauma-informed coaching seeks to provide a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth. It goes beyond traditional coaching methods by integrating trauma-awareness, sensitivity, and specific tools to address the unique needs of individuals who have experienced trauma. Though it isn’t therapy and doesn’t provide any form diagnosis or of medical or mental health treatment, it can have powerful, therapeutic benefits for those who are ready and able to do the work.
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.
