InCorr Coaching is the coaching arm of the InCorr Method and Training Institute. We train coaches in a series of trainings, workshops, and retreats that increase the coaches capacity to do deep trauma-informed work with their clients.

InCorr is about changing the way trauma work is taught and treated in the world. It’s about trauma Reconsolidation and clearing it from the body and mind. InCorr Coaching is about training coaches interested in trauma informed work so they can do their part in the healing process, mostly in the preparation phase of the InCorr Method. But some coaches may choose to train fully as a trauma specialist via the InCorr Method.

Shauna Quigley is the Founder of InCorr and Armandee Drew partners with Shauna as Director of InCorr Coaching.

An analogy: Coaches aren’t the doctor (of trauma healing), but we must know CPR. And we can train in functional and alternative medicine. In other words, coaches must know how to work with trauma as it shows up in session, but it isn’t why a client comes to coaching. We must be prepared for it and have specific ways we work with it when it does. When a client is in crisis and their nervous system cannot hold the emotions that come up, we refer clients to therapists (the doctor), and usually suggest working in tandem so clients can continue with their

goals and get support from coaches as an additional resource.

We teach coaches to pay attention to hypo and hyper arousal in their clients, as this is a key indicator of a boundary line a coach isn’t qualified to cross. When a client is in crisis and their nervous system cannot hold the emotions that come

up, we refer clients to therapists and usually suggest working in tandem so coaches can continue to support clients as a resource and clients can continue with their goals. Coaching clients should not employ a coach because they are in a crisis that needs therapeutic intervention to keep them functioning. They should already be functioning and able to do life fully, while they are in pursuit of certain goals.

With that said, a coach’s level of trauma-informed practice depends on their training as a coach and the contract they have with a client. We build capacity in coaches to work with clients who have trauma patterns that show up in session. Coaches learn the signs of an activated nervous system as well as the safety tools to help them regulate. Coaches learn that their own calm nervous system becomes their greatest gift to activated clients. This keeps clients in a safety zone of doing the work they come to coaching to do.

The short answer is, we create enough safety, so we don’t have to fear doing harm. We lower the risk with safety tools and increase the impact with unity skills. Our aim, and every training we do is designed to bring safety to clients as they learn to engage the body and emotions. It is more likely that we over do the safety than risk any re-traumatization.
