Trauma Therapy vs. Trauma-informed Coaching with Kathy Kinghorn

Kathy Kinghorn has been a trauma therapist for over 13 years, and was a facilitator in my first Advanced Relationship Trauma Certification for Coaches. In this conversation, we discuss the differences and similarities between trauma therapy and trauma coaching and touch on when’s the right time for one or the other. For some, coaching might be the thing that prepares someone for therapy. For others, therapy might come before coaching and sometimes people can benefit from both.  We also talk about the disconnect between some therapists and coaches and how we envision that relationship between the two professions in the future. Our goal is what’s in the best interest for our clients’ healing and growth.In this episode we discuss:The difference between trauma therapy and trauma coachingWhen’s the right time for working with a coachRecognizing that healing isn’t linearThe importance of safetyHow we envision the relationship between therapists and coachesHierarchies and barriers to entryHow a collaborative effort can be in the BEST interest of our clients.What really matters when it comes to sustainable healing.Referenced in the episode:Felt Sense EpisodeConnect with Kathy:WebsiteFacebookLindsay’s current program offerings:Looking for a new career as a Certified Trauma-Informed Coach?
