Become A Trauma Informed Coach
Are you a coach who's afraid to use the "T" word (Trauma) on your calls? Or you that trauma is a thing, that it happens, but not much more (because you’re not sure if you want to know more)? If any of this resonates (or you just want to know more about how, as coaches, we can support clients carrying trauma), this podcast is for you. Bringing our lack of understanding into the light is necessary to support ourselves—and clients—during calls. Now coach, I am NOT HERE to induce fear or paralysis in your coaching—bleh. I am here to help you 1) see what you’re potentially not seeing, 2) reaffirm 10000% that you absolutely can do something about it, and 3) reinforce the notion that we all start somewhere (it’s ok to be where you’re at right now)! There is SO MUCH you can do to support clients carrying trauma—as well as understanding the limitations we have as coaches—so that they can receive the care they are in search of. I believe that being Trauma-Informed is an Essential Standard of Care for every coach in the coaching industry. I have a vision of every coach being Trauma-Informed.
Become A Trauma Informed Coach
Real talk with Infidelity Coach Andrea Giles
In this episode, Lindsay and Andrea talk key components of why it matters to be trauma-informed:
- When you do this work on yourself, you are able to minimize being triggered on calls.
- How it can be surprisingly quick to use these tools to tone down triggers.
- Why safety in groups matters, especially when we're processing emotions with respect to our stickiest relationships, and so much more.
Certified Life Coach Andrea Giles is the host of the "Heal from Infidelity" podcast, as well as mother to 12 in a big blended family. Her main coaching focus lies in helping women decide to stay or go after infidelity in her signature program, "Know in 90." In addition to coaching and taking care of her family, Andrea loves good music, being outside, and traveling anywhere and everywhere.
She also claims to be a really good ping-pong and badminton player--and your host has now challenged her to a few matches next time they meet up ;)
