Trauma Recovery Coaching
Trauma is not merely about the events that transpire but rather how we navigate and process them. As Peter Levine aptly puts it, “trauma often arises from the intersection of fear and helplessness”. It’s an individual experience, as multiple people in the same situation may respond differently.
In Trauma Recovery Coaching, our focus is on your present and future.
I view trauma as an acknowledgment that, at a certain point, we lacked the capacity to handle specific events or situations and lacked the necessary support to make sense of them and feel secure. How often have you found yourself in such a predicament?
As human beings, we possess incredible resilience to cope and adapt to our surroundings. Many coping strategies that served as literal life-savers at one point may eventually become hindrances to our growth and well-being.
In Trauma Recovery Coaching, our focus is on your present and future. Throughout this process, you’ll gain awareness of how trauma may impact your goals, and together, we’ll work through it. The aim is to empower you with choices for moving forward, breaking free from unconscious responses that may have held you captive.
Trauma Recovery Coaching is:
- Peer to Peer: We are equals. I don’t wield authority over you, and you don’t default to my recommendations. Together, we identify and address your needs.
- Client-led: This is a collaborative effort. We embark on this journey at a pace comfortable for you. I seek your consent before suggesting areas to explore, honoring your needs and desires in the process.
- Unable to diagnose: I won’t label you. Instead, I’ll share my observations, and it’s your right to confirm or correct them. Your responses are valid within the context of your experiences.
- A safe space: Our coaching container is a sanctuary where you can express yourself fully. My commitment is to see, hear, and understand you without judgment. You deserve a place to shed the masks and guards.
