Trauma-informed group coaching has significantly enhanced my ability to support clients in their post-traumatic growth. It has equipped me to tap into the relational healing power of collective wisdom within the group, fostering growth that goes beyond one-on-one coaching. The course has given me the confidence and competence to effectively hold space for the group’s interpersonal dynamics, turning them into valuable resources that would not be available in a one-to-one setting. I highly recommend this course to any coach serious about pursuing trauma-informed group coaching; it has truly transformed my practice.
