A Professional Training for Coaches, Counselors & Leaders Supporting Clients with Emotional Pain, Stress & Trauma Patterns
Course Overview
The Trauma-Informed Coaching Certification is a high-level, research-based program designed to equip coaches, practitioners, and leaders with the knowledge and skills to safely support clients experiencing stress, emotional wounds, trauma responses, and deep internal patterns.
This program does not qualify participants as therapists. Instead, it teaches coaches how to work safely, recognize trauma patterns, avoid re-traumatization, support emotional regulation, and use coaching skills without crossing therapeutic boundaries.
The program blends Polyvagal Theory, somatic awareness, trauma psychology, nervous system regulation, attachment science, and coaching competencies to create safe and empowered coaching environments.
