Coaching vs. Therapy
I am not a therapist or a doctor. As your Resiliency Coach, my role will be to walk next to you as a source of knowledge, encouragement, validation, and support when you feel overwhelmed or lost. I will listen to what’s on your heart and together we will discover where you are headed. Which, I believe is to healing and to the truest and best version of yourself. Hopefully, our work together will help you find safety within yourself and your world. I care. I see you. I hear you. I believe you. You matter.
What can I expect from a coach?
What coaches do:
Coaches are guides, teachers, and mentors. They come alongside their clients as peers.
Coaches build a healthy relationship with their clients so that they can learn how to have a healthy relationship with themselves, others, and the world.
Coaches goal set with their clients, helping them map out a path that brings them closer to leading the life they want to live.
Coaches provide education about trauma and recovery.
Coaches share their personal experiences to let their clients know they are not alone in what they are facing and to validate their client’s experiences.
Coaches help their clients identify the primary lies/core beliefs that were taught to them by their abuser or enabler. Once identified they help their clients define new, healthy truths/beliefs.
Coaches help their clients celebrate their progress.
