A Certified Complex Trauma Recovery Coach is a Mental Health Practitioner trained in working with clients with childhood & adult trauma otherwise known as Complex PTSD or CPTSD. With coaching, past traumas are acknowledged but we work in the present day. Clients experience an emotionally safe environment with a healthy connection and do not experience retraumatization. Coaches acknowledge with gentle curiosity, maladaptive (negative) coping mechanisms and unhealthy behaviors due to broken core beliefs from past traumas.

 

Coaches also educate their clients about:

• ​the aftereffects of Complex Trauma and developmental needs

• the neuroscience of trauma

• psychoeducation

• somatic work

• alternative modalities 

that may be helpful, whilst normalizing the clients reality, relaying how healing occurs and utilize S.M.A.R.T goals for specific growth.

Trauma Recovery Coaches practice the client has the innate ability to heal. Creating recovery goals that are individualized and sustainable for each client's needs and charting the progress for growth and desired outcomes. 

​

Coaches always maintain a safe space for the client to discuss and process their experiences in the context of a relatable, professional relationship. Coaching empowers the client to solve their own problems and equip our clients to understand what is happening physically, emotionally and mentally when behaviors are repeated. Coaches assess how the client desires to navigate change and help to construct personalized strategies for the client to move forward in a different way.
