Frequently Asked Questions about Light’s Trauma and Crisis Intervention Training
What does it mean to be a trauma-informed coach?
Trauma-informed coaches are knowledgeable about the tell-tale signs of trauma but are not qualified to treat trauma. In fact, tasking someone who is not a licensed professional with treating trauma could result in the re-traumatization of a client.
Trauma-informed coaching is a skill that entails being able to recognize the signs of trauma, deftly bringing the client to a place of mental stability and referring the person to a licensed professional who is able to treat the trauma.
What is the difference between a coach and a therapist?
There are several differences between a coach and a therapist, though the most notable distinction is that therapists are licensed professionals while coaches are not. As such, the treatment strategies of therapists differ from those used by coaches.
While therapists often seek to help their clients recover from mental illness. Areas of treatment for therapists include, but are not limited to:
- Addictions
- Anxiety
- Bipolar disorder
- Clinical depression
- Trauma
On the other hand, coaches do not seek to help their clients recover from mental illness. Instead, coaches focus more on the development of positive thinking patterns.
What certifications do you need to become a trauma-informed coach?
Though the coaching niche is unregulated, no certifications are needed to become a coach, proper training is strongly advised. Think about it – you wouldn’t want to learn baseball from someone who never played, would you?
If you’d like to become a trauma-informed coach who can confidently identify signs of trauma and refer people to the correct licensed professional, Light’s online crisis response and trauma-informed care certification program is an excellent fit. With training that covers topics ranging from how children react to crises, anxiety and depression, and trauma attachment theory, our trauma-informed certification doesn’t just benefit you – it benefits those you serve.
Can life coaches treat trauma?
Life coaches cannot, and should not try, to treat trauma. Coaches who attempt to treat trauma may re-traumatize their clients and further agitate deep emotional wounds. Trauma treatment is reserved for licensed mental health professionals alone.
