SAFETY: The primary reason you aren’t hitting your goals

Is “safety” a buzzword that’s overused? Your host Lindsay Poelman doesn’t think so. Creating an environment of safety for your clients doesn’t hurt those who don’t need it or won’t notice. But it CAN make a world of difference to a client with a dysregulated nervous system. Prioritizing safety is INCLUSIVE. It’s a way for your work to benefit a wider spectrum of people. Today I’m sharing the importance of safety, some research behind it, and actionable tips you can use starting NOW to create safety. There is so much you can do as a coach to create an environment of safety, for your clients and for yourself.Listen to the full episode to learn how tools like asking questions, boundaries, self care, not having an agenda, and more can create safety for you and your clients.Connect with Lindsay on Instagram or visit her website.Your host, certified life coach Lindsay Poelman started her journey of intentional healing when she learned that her husband had been lying to her about pornography use for a greater part of their marriage.  After processing and accepting her circumstance more fully, she found coaching—which propelled her into a forward focused state of empowerment.Over the last four years of deep dive/fundamental coaching for women in betrayal (around porn use, spouses coming out around gender identity and sexuality, childhood neglect and abuse, substance abuse, infidelity, emotional abuse, domestic violence, institutional trauma, and more.), she has observed that if you’re working with humans, you can’t handpick clients who don’t carry trauma.This is why she developed a Trauma-Informed approach to mindset work and relationships that take into account the nuance of being a human.
