How do you conduct coaching and disclosure sessions?
Coaching and disclosure sessions are conducted via Zoom, allowing you to participate from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
What is the cost of a coaching session?
Coaching sessions are $100 for 50 minutes.
What is your availability for coaching sessions?
I currently offer coaching sessions on Tuesdays only.
Will you collaborate on a disclosure with my husband’s coach or therapist?
I participate in disclosures only when the disclosing partner is working with one of the coaches I regularly collaborate with. This allows for a coordinated and consistent approach to the disclosure process, with all members of the support team working from the same model and standards of care.
Do you provide ongoing coaching after the disclosure process?
I support women through the completion of their Impact Letter and their husband's Letter of Restitution. We also work together to develop a personalized safety plan and discuss the next steps in your healing journey. If you are looking for ongoing coaching beyond the safety plan, I am happy to refer you to a trusted coach who can provide continued support for your long-term healing and recovery.
Is financial assistance available?
I never want finances to keep a woman from receiving disclosure support. If cost is a concern, please schedule a free consultation, and we can discuss your circumstances and explore possible options.
What is the difference between therapy and coaching?
Both therapy and coaching can be beneficial when facing betrayal trauma. With your permission, therapists and coaches can communicate and focus on different aspects of your recovery.
Therapy is where you process trauma and deal with symptoms of post-traumatic stress, both from betrayal as well as any past trauma that is commonly stirred up when betrayed. Therapists focus on the past and present as a way to move forward. In therapy, the client is considered the patient, and the therapist is the expert. Some therapists also diagnose and treat mental illness.
Coaching starts with sharing your story, but then the focus shifts to the present and future. Coaching is a collaborative partnership focusing on specific goals determined by the client. In coaching, the client is considered the expert on their life, and the coach is a partner. Coaching is action-oriented and focuses on where a client is today and how to best move forward by exploring mindsets, options, and obstacles. The client leaves each session with a few action steps to help propel them toward their goals.
What does The International Coaching Federation (ICF) say about coaching vs. therapy?
"The ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching focuses on visioning, success, the present and moving toward the future. Therapy emphasizes psychopathology, emotions and the past to understand the present, and it works more with developing skills for managing emotions or past issues than does coaching."
