FAQS

What Is the Difference Between a Therapist and a Trauma-Informed Coach?

The main difference lies in focus and approach. A therapist treats trauma directly, while a Trauma-Informed Coach does not provide treatment but is deeply informed about how past trauma impacts a client’s life. Coaching is not a substitute for therapy, but Trauma-Informed Coaching works exceptionally well alongside therapy to accelerate the recovery process. It’s also beneficial for clients who have completed therapy and need support as they move forward toward healing and transformation.

What Is the Difference Between a Life Coach and a Trauma-Informed Coach?

A Trauma-Informed Coach is a Life Coach with additional qualifications that enable them to fully support clients affected by trauma. This specialized training provides insights into how trauma influences well-being, allowing the coach to adapt their approach to meet each client’s unique needs. A Trauma-Informed Coach also teaches techniques to manage trauma responses and triggers while empowering clients to heal and transform their lives.
