Trauma-informed coaches have training in client regulation, brain-body connection, behavioural reaction, different types of traumas, leading causes, and subsequent symptoms. They will have learned methods to help ‘regulate’ the nervous system, discard shame and guilt through powerful questions, and recognize and promote wellness as it starts to develop.

It is important to know that a trauma response is the body and mind’s response to overwhelming stress and threat. Neglect, abandonment, loss, life transitions, chronic stress, socio-political stressors, and toxic relationships can all lead to trauma-related symptoms.

We can’t just “tough it out” when we face these problems, as they affect us on every level, from our immune system functioning and physical health to our levels of depression and anxiety. 

Whether experiencing single incident traumatic events, ongoing chronic stress, or daily stressors, trauma-informed therapeutic coaching can not only help alleviate current struggles, but also help your nervous system better cope with future stressors.

We are not designed to cope with these alone, and evidence-based, collaborative help is available.

Anyone who has experienced trauma – in childhood or as an adult – can benefit from trauma-informed coaching. Likewise, you don’t need to have experienced trauma to benefit from a trauma-informed approach.
