Welcome to this special space, I'm truly grateful that you've found your way here. Mental health is a crucial topic that's finally gaining the recognition it deserves. However, there is still so much more to explore, particularly when it comes to the impact of trauma on our lives.

Childhood trauma, in particular, is an area that's often overlooked or misunderstood. It can affect not only our emotional and relational well-being but also our physical health. As survivors of trauma, we may feel lost and alone, struggling with inner turmoil that's difficult to articulate. But the good news is that healing is possible, and having someone to walk alongside you on this journey can make all the difference.

As a fellow survivor of childhood trauma, I understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the healing process. That's why I became a certified trauma recovery coach – to provide a safe and supportive space for others to heal and thrive. By working together, we can unlock the different puzzle pieces of trauma and transform them into sources of hope and strength.

Thank you for considering me as your guide on this journey of healing and recovery. Let's walk this path together and create a brighter future.

Thank you for asking such an important question about the distinctions between trauma recovery coaching and therapy. Fundamentally, the two modalities differ in their approach. As a coach, my primary focus is not on the client's past experiences. Instead, we work together to identify the client's goals and aspirations and develop strategies to help them achieve these goals. It is worth noting that as a coach, I do not prescribe treatment, diagnose mental health issues, or offer guidance on medication. Moreover, I do not direct a client's recovery, but rather, facilitate a client-led process. My role is to support and guide clients to recognize and draw on their inner strengths and resources to navigate their journey towards a fulfilling life.

What coaches do:

• Help clients identify the after effects of trauma.
  
• Model and build a healthy relationship with the client, providing the safe space needed to work through the stages in their life.
• Guide the client in setting goals, allowing them to create a path towards the life they want.
• Offer education on trauma and recovery.
• Share personal experiences, validating client's experiences.
• Help clients recognize their emotions and thoughts.
• Celebrate big and small achievements!
• Help a client recognize their self-worth and help them to develop a healthy view of the world and themself.
  

Therapy vs. Coaching

What coaches do NOT do:

• We will not work outside our scope of competence.
  
• Work with clients who are suicidal, self-harming, or at risk of harming others.
• Act as an authority over the client, it is a peer relationship.
• Set goals for the client, the client creates these with a coach's guidance.
• We do not treat, diagnose, or assess mental health.
• We will not prescribe medication or give advice on any kind of medication.
• We will not "process" trauma with a client. Our goal is to help clients function in their daily lives.
