Why "Bridging the Gap" between coaching and therapy can be the best thing for the client

Become A Trauma Informed Coach

In this episode, your host Lindsay Poelman sits down with Kathy Kinghorn. Join us in this episode where I interview Trauma Therapist Kathy Kinghorn. Kathy owns a wildly successful therapy practice in Lehi, Utah and has been training therapists for years. We discuss:

• Why being open to “Bridging the Gap” between coaches and therapists can be in the best interest of clients.
• Places where trauma shows up in interactions with humans.
• Why being trauma-informed broadens your compassion and why oftentimes trauma isn’t always the “thing you see,” but what’s “behind the thing you see.”
• Examples of why it makes sense that healing and growth aren’t linear and don’t need to be bound to one modality.

Kathy also answers the tough question: “Why don’t some therapists like coaches?”

Your host, certified life coach Lindsay Poelman started her journey of intentional healing started when she learned that her husband had been lying to her about pornography use for a greater part of their marriage. After processing and accepting her circumstance more fully, she found coaching—which propelled her into a forward focused state of empowerment.

Over the last four years of deep dive/fundamental coaching for women in betrayal (around porn use, spouses coming out around gender identity and sexuality, childhood neglect and abuse, substance abuse, infidelity, emotional abuse, domestic violence, institutional trauma, and more.), she has observed that if you’re working with humans, you can’t handpick clients who don’t carry trauma.

This is why I have developed a Trauma-Informed approach to mindset work and relationships that take into account the nuance of being a human. She believes that being trauma informed is an essential standard of care for coaches. She created this podcast to support life coaches who recognize that there is so much more than mindset work when it comes to supporting their clients responsibly.
