Trauma Coaching in NC-From Rooted Pain to Rising Hope
What Is Trauma Coaching?
Trauma coaching is a non-clinical support service designed to help you explore who you are beneath survival mode. Coaching doesn’t involve diagnosis or treatment. Instead, it offers:
Tools for emotional regulation and self-trust
Nervous system education to understand your stress responses
A safe space to unlearn shame and rebuild inner connection
Mind-body practices, reflection prompts, and values exploration
Many clients use coaching as a bridge to therapy, or as a stand-alone support when they want guidance, growth, and clarity without entering a clinical setting.
