Trauma Informed Marketing.

Keeping it simple.

How can I help you?

Simplified Trauma Informed Marketing Plans

With a trauma informed approach you will feel supported and understood.

No information about your trauma should be shared but making the coach aware that there are potential triggers can help a great deal.

An impact-monitoring system is helpful in a trauma-informed approach to ensure that you are comfortable with the coaching.

I am not a trauma-coach, psychiatrist or therapist. But – being made aware of the need for trauma-informed approach is all I need to help customise your marketing plan more effectively.

Discovering the Best Communication Methods for You

When starting a digital marketing coaching plan, it’s important for the coach to understand the client’s preferred method of communication (in-person meetings, phone calls, or emails).
 
Personalised communication preferences are not uncommon among trauma survivors, and they may even change during the coaching journey.
 
It’s vital that the coach engages in a trial period to discover which communication method(s) are the client.
 

Support From Someone Who Has an Understanding of Trauma

What makes this a trauma informed approach to marketing?

Method

It’s important that my clients are never sought to complete unattainable  tasks.
 
Before establishing business goals, it’s vital that the coach and client get to know one another—this means a lot of listening and minimal talking at first.
 
Only once the coach has a clear understanding of the client’s marketing strengths and weaknesses will they be able to construct attainable marketing goals.

Communication

It’s important to understand my clients’ preferred method of communication. Whether you prefer email, text, phone or video call. 

I will make sure that your requirements are met and that if they change at any time then I will happily cooperate.

If any adjustments are needed to any part of the coaching plan then I am always happy to do so.

Your safety and health are more important than anything.

Feedback

It’s vital that my marketing clients feel safe, supported and understood. 

I take care to ensure that my feedback is gentle and supportive. I always tailor my approach to feedback on an individual basis. 

It’s important to know where things are going wrong with your marketing, just as it’s important to highlight the good stuff.

If things need improving then we will look at that together as a team, without judgement or criticism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trauma doesn’t only result from extreme events such as accidents, or from one-off situations such as being assaulted. It can also be caused by repeated incidents such as living in a violent family, working in an abusive environment or suffering bullying. It’s not necessarily obvious when someone has experienced trauma, but this may well show up in how they relate to others. And for many people the effects will stay with them for their whole lives.

A Trauma-informed approach is a philosophy or way of thinking about and responding to people, which recognises that many people have experienced trauma in their lives, and treats them with respect and sensitivity.

With a trauma-informed approach, clients will feel supported and understood, and the coach will be aware of the client having cPTSD before sessions.

An impact-monitoring system also beneficial in a trauma-informed approach, as it helps coaches constantly evaluate the effectiveness of their coaching and how it may impact the mood of the client.

SAMHSA uses the four R’s to describe a trauma-informed business or system:

Realize the widespread impact of trauma and understand potential paths for recovery.

Recognise the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system.

Respond by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices.

Actively resist re-traumatisation.

There are many strategies for implementing trauma-informed approaches into an organization, depending on the type of  business. 

About Childhood Trauma & cPTSD

We live in a world where children are constantly exposed to traumatic events and messages every day. These messages tell children that they are bad, stupid, unworthy, and may cause them to question their worth. As children deal with challenging situations, they are also constantly dealing with complex emotions such as anger, fear, and anxiety.
 
These are profound challenges, but children are amazing creatures and are often able to cope with these challenges and emotions on their own, using skills and strategies they’ve developed over time. However, when adults in a child’s life fail to support them in positive ways, the negative impact is huge.
 
Criticism, blame, and shame often lead to feelings of guilt and humiliation that can damage a child’s spirit. When parents constantly criticize, they destroy a child’s hope and belief that they can make a difference. (Hope is an essential component of resilience.)
 
Often, when family members or peers interact with their child in this way  it is because they themselves have suffered from traumatic experiences, and they use these types of anger-driven strategies to deal with their own emotions. This is not a reflection on them, but rather an reflection of the lack of support they received as a child to deal with their own challenges.
 
Children who experience this type of harsh, punitive experience tend to have more emotional and behavioural difficulties, and are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and drug abuse as they grow up.
 
Research shows that children who experience emotional neglect experience the same level of damage as children who were physically abused.
 
What is trauma?
Trauma occurs when an event or experience is so overwhelming that it changes the way we respond  to the world and the people around us. Any stressful or traumatic experience can contribute to the development of trauma, but not everyone experiences trauma or experiences the same level of trauma.
