What Coaches do:

• Coaches are guides, teachers and mentors. They work alongside their clients as peers.

• Coaches build a healthy relationship with their clients so that they can learn how to have a healthy relationship with themselves, others and the world.

• Coaches goal set with their clients, helping them map out a path that brings them closer to leading the life they want to live.

• Coaches provide education about trauma and recovery.

• Coaches share their personal experiences to let their clients know they are not alone in what they are facing and to validate their client’s experiences.

• Coaches help their clients identify the primary lies/core beliefs that were taught to them by their abuser or enabler. Once identified they help their clients define new, healthy truths/beliefs.

• Coaches help their clients celebrate their progress.

• Coaches help their clients build a healthy view of themselves, others and the world.
