BONUS: Trauma-Informed Coaching interview with Caryn Gillen and Kathy Kinghorn

This is an interview Kathy Kinghorn and Lindsay Poelman had with Caryn Gillen about our Advanced Certification: Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches.We discuss the importance of being trauma-informed. If our goal is to help our clients get where they want to go and for us to “do no harm” in helping them get there, then we really need to understand trauma. We need to know what it looks like, how it can present, how to let people have their stories, how to help them work through it, and when to pull in or suggest additional support.In this episode, we discuss:– Big ‘T’ trauma vs. little ‘t’ trauma– Relationship betrayal trauma– The individual nature of trauma– Safety, particularly in change work– The benefits of coaching and therapy (separately or together)– Gaslighting – what it is and how to recognize itAs well as, how to listen to your gut and why we’re not in a rush.Are you a life coach who is ready to become Trauma-Informed?

She believes that being trauma informed is an essential standard of care for coaches. She created this podcast to support life coaches who recognize that there is so much more than mindset work when it comes to supporting their clients responsibly.Are you a life coach who is ready to become Trauma-Informed?
