Trauma-informed coaching: A transpersonal perspective

A peer-reviewed article by Jevon Dängeli, published in the Transpersonal Coaching Psychology Journal, Volume 2, 2023

Abstract

Unresolved trauma has no demographic boundaries and can be passed on from one generation to another. The high prevalence of trauma throughout the world today can detrimentally affect not only the direct victims of traumatic events, but also their family, community and society, as well as how those treat others and the natural world. In Transpersonal Coaching Psychology (TCP) it is recognised that many of the issues which clients present are impacted by or influenced by trauma. How coaches can work with traumatised clients ethically is discussed. Somatic approaches in coaching and the value of embodiment practice are introduced. TCP models, frameworks and guiding principles are outlined. The importance of coaching being trauma-informed and working from a transpersonal perspective is emphasised.
