How can working with Coach Kate help me in my mental health journey and creating the life I want after trauma?
Great question! Not all coaching is educated in these areas so, the truth is- not all coaching can help with these goals. However, Mental Health & Trauma Coach Kate Brennan has spent years learning neuro-health strategies, ways to regulate the nervous system, and learning how to work with trauma survivors. Her approach, whether in coaching or a healing arts session, is always nervous system and trauma-informed.
Regardless of whether you want to focus on fostering positive mental health, building a beautiful future after a painful experience, or both, Coach Kate can offer her guidance by helping you create a life characterized by hope and opportunity, creating new narratives and beliefs, building self-compassion, self-trust, and confidence; creating a sense of safety within your life; rediscovering yourself and your purpose; learning to identify and meet your physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs; building self-care, healthy habits and coping strategies; uniting the nervous system and the mind; learning therapeutic tools; building mental strength, resilience, and post-traumatic growth! Honestly, the list just keeps going because coaching and the healing journey with Refuge Life Services is personalized to YOU!
A Note About What Coaching Is...
and What It Is Not
​
Coaching empowers the client to move forward through powerful questions, deep conversation, tools and exercises. Coaching helps clients to recognize and remove blocks, create a vision for their life, take the actions needed to reach goals and provides accountability. Whereas therapy is focused on the "whys" of your past and going back to process the source of a wound, coaching is focused on the "hows" of your present and moving you into the future you desire to create.
​​​​​​
As CS Lewis said, "you can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
​​
​​
Now, friends, let's touch on what coaching is not...
​​
It is important to note there is a difference between a person's overall mental health and a mental health disorder. Mental health is understood as a state of mental well-being that includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Coaching is great for fostering positive emotional, mental and social well-being! A mental health disorder is a mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder. Coaching cannot ethically -or legally- treat, diagnose, or "heal" a mental disorder, nor treat or diagnose a person's trauma; coaches cannot ethically work with individuals suffering a current crisis of mental health. Coaches cannot do clinical work, nor work with a client's medication. This is the role of a licensed professional.
​
Coaching is an incredible resource for self-led healing. You are in the driver's seat, and the coach is your partner. You decide on your goals and how this journey will look for you!​​​​​​​​
