Can COUNSELORS Use Coaching? Yep!

I am incredibly proud that my community includes people from most, if not all the continents, and one thing that I have noticed in my interactions with people around the world is that in America we are generally much more skeptical about using a variety of modalities. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed learning about all of the ways we can help individuals regain a sense of peace and wellness using and I’m happy that coaching is a part of that.

I really became interested in coaching more intentionally when I was working directly with families who were involved with the department of child and family services. 100% of the parents I worked with, who were trying to regain or maintain custody of their children had a strong history of personal trauma. The time frame for most DCS cases is less than a year, and in all instances the sooner you see progress the better, so multiple years of ongoing rapport building and scaffolding that is more common in outpatient or psychoanalytic models just isn’t realistic. Without knowing it, I naturally infused coaching practices into my work and had great results. Now, having coached for years and I have joined with the only internationally certified trauma-informed coaching program in the world, I’m here to let you know how this can benefit you and your clients so much more.

Do you think coaching could help you help your students?
