What is Trauma recovery Coaching?

First, what it is not:

TRAUMA RECOVERY COACHING IS NOT:

First, let’s start with what it’s not. Trauma Recovery Coaches do not diagnose, create treatment plans or prescribe medication. Trauma Recovery Coaching is not therapy, counseling, advice giving, or treatment for substance abuse or any addictive behavior. The coach is not functioning as a licensed professional, therapist or counselor, and coaching is not intended as a replacement for counseling, therapy or other professional services.

TRAUMA RECOVERY COACHING IS:

So, what is Trauma Recovery Coaching? Coaching is for people seeking growth and healing today. Trauma Recovery Coaching is client-led, meaning we talk about what is important to you. As your coach, I come alongside with ideas, education on trauma and information along the way. I come alongside you, and we journey together to help you heal & grow.

As your Trauma Recovery Coach, I am here to help you to discover more about yourself, your own innate resources and your goals, dreams and desires. Together we help you build resilience and strength.

Annie McCrea

Hi, I’m Annie! I’m a career RN, having recently retired from the Nursing Profession after over 30 years.. Trauma Responsive care was the hallmark of my Nursing practice.

In the course of recovering from my own childhood and adulthood traumas, I discovered this work to be my passion. I have chosen Trauma Recovery Coaching because the focus is on the client’s own unique journey. I will walk alongside you as you discover your own path to healing, growth and hope.

I welcome all who are seeking healing. I have experience with birth loss, adoption, betrayal trauma, chronic health conditions, chronic pain, addiction, anxiety, panic disorder, chronic stress and depression. My personal recovery includes 12 Step work, therapy, intensive workshops and Inner Child healing modalities.

I am also a Volunteer Crisis Counselor for Crisis Text Line. This work has given me experience in dealing with people in crisis and helping them find strength and resources to endure. My experiences here will be integrated into my coaching practice.

My mission: To help others move from hurting to healing.

Complex Trauma Recovery Coaching is Designed specifically for Complex Trauma health and recovery. Client needs are met specifically and individually, not generally and each client is recognised as having their own needs to be met and services are tailored accordingly.
The Trauma Recovery Coach walks alongside the client. We do not create a plan for healing on our own, we work together, helping the client claim their power, assert themselves and speak their truth while learning how to integrate principals into their life that are positive and healing.
Trauma Recovery Coaching works with the whole person; body, mind and spirit. There is never a one-size-fits-all approach, instead we listen to what the client needs and offer the benefit of education, experience, hope and caring.

HOW IS TRAUMA COACHING EFFECTIVE?

Childhood trauma is a relational trauma, which means it happened in the context of relationships. The journey of healing and working through developmental trauma also happens in the context of relationships. The Trauma Recovery Coaching relationship with the client is built around the client learning how to feel safe with another person.
The Client sets the recovery goals, and is supported 100% by the Trauma Recovery Coach through the process. The client has final decision, and the coach understands they are learning who they are without shame, worthlessness, powerlessness and blame clouding their lives, due to developmental trauma.
Complex trauma survivors' unconscious brain was programmed that life is overwhelming, dangerous and unmanageable. Working with a Trauma Recovery Coach helps the client to experience how life can be functional and manageable. The safety offered within the relationship changes perceptions.
