57 - David Treleaven: Becoming a Trauma Sensitive Coach

As the practice of coaching deepens psychologically, the possibility of trauma coming to light increases. This brings up the important question of how we as coaches respond to a client exhibiting trauma symptoms. In this conversation with David Treleaven, an expert on trauma-sensitive mindfulness, we look at what trauma-sensitive coaching is, how to recognise trauma symptoms in your client, and how to respond responsibly. David Treleaven, PhD, is a writer and educator working at the intersection of mindfulness and trauma. He is the author of the acclaimed book Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness and founder of the Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness (TSM) Community, a group committed to setting a standard of care within mindfulness-based practices. Through workshops, keynotes, podcasts, and online education, David focuses on offering mindfulness providers with the knowledge and tools they require to meet the needs of those struggling with trauma.
