Trauma Recovery Coaching Policies

Professional standards and practices for trauma recovery coaching services

1. Purpose, Scope of Practice, and Competence

The purpose of trauma recovery coaching is to provide client-led, strengths-based, non-clinical support for individuals navigating the impact of trauma. Our scope includes emotional support, skill-building, psychoeducation, goal setting, and accountability. We do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and we are not a replacement for therapy or medical care. We refer out when issues are beyond our training or scope.

2. Expectations, Roles, and Responsibilities

Clients are expected to:

  • Arrive on time and ready to engage
  • Communicate needs and challenges
  • Follow through on agreed-upon actions

Coaches will:

  • Be punctual and fully present
  • Maintain professional boundaries
  • Empower you without judgment

3. Adherence to Professional Standards

As a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach, I adhere to the International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaching (IAOTRC) Code of Ethics and uphold their professional standards at all times.

4. The Love Further Coaching Process

Our sessions may include modalities such as:

  • Inner child work
  • Parts work (IFS-informed)
  • Somatic grounding tools
  • Narrative and journaling exercises
  • Mindfulness-based coping strategies

Each session is tailored to your needs and goals and always centers your autonomy.

5. Mandatory Reporting Requirements

I am a mandated reporter and must report the following:

  • Current child abuse or neglect
  • Abuse or neglect of vulnerable adults
  • Threats of harm to self or others

6. Emergency Situations & Resources

In an emergency, please contact:

  • 911 (for immediate danger or overdose)
  • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988
  • Crisis Text Line: Text 741741
  • SAMHSA Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (for substance use)

I am not an emergency responder. Please seek immediate assistance through appropriate channels.
