This approach doesn't mean we'll only focus on painful memories. Instead, it means I understand how trauma works and I’ll create a safe space where you can explore your goals while being mindful of potential triggers and protective patterns.
Your body keeps score of stressful experiences— like a computer running multiple programs at the same time. These stored experiences can run in the background, draining your battery without you noticing.
Trauma-informed coaching works with your nervous system to:
This is why you might have strong physical reactions (racing heart, tightness in chest, sudden exhaustion) when faced with situations that remind your body of past difficulties—even if your conscious mind doesn't make the connection.
By recognizing this pattern with compassion rather than judgment, Jessica could begin creating new responses that served her current goals.
Together, they created small, manageable steps that felt safe enough to try. Each successful step helped build new neural pathways, gradually overriding the automatic stress response.
Greater self-compassion as you understand the "why" behind your challenges
Increased emotional regulation when facing triggers
More authentic self-expression as protective patterns loosen
Clearer boundaries in relationships
Enhanced ability to pursue goals that previously felt impossible
This approach might be particularly helpful if:
Trauma-informed coaching isn't therapy—we won't be processing traumatic memories in detail. But it does offer a compassionate approach to growth that acknowledges how your past experiences shape your present responses.
Your dreams matter, and you deserve support that honors your unique experiences while helping you move forward.
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to explore whether trauma-informed coaching aligns with your needs. During this call, you can ask questions, get a feel for my approach, and we can determine together if we're a good fit.
