Neurodiversity and trauma-sensitivity are both hot topics these days and with good reason. People are now recognizing the traumatizing effects on everybody of living through the massive changes we are experiencing globally in technology, climate, epidemics, geopolitics, culture, and economics. And, more people than ever are openly identifying themselves as autistic, as ADHDers, as dyslexic, or as other neurotypes. Many go through a temporarily destabilizing identity shift, completely rethinking their understanding of themselves on the path to self-acceptance.
The existential challenges posed by neurodivergence are exacerbated by the wider changes in the world, increasing the likelihood of trauma in our neurodivergent clients. As the challenges our clients face become more stressful and more existentially challenging, we need to make sure that we continue developing our skills and expanding our coaching ranges to be able to support them. We have to assume that trauma is in the room, for all our clients, whether or not they are neurodivergent.
As coaches, we can’t stop with understanding what trauma is. We need to interpret the coaching competencies in light of our understanding of trauma and develop the practical skills that make our coaching trauma-sensitive.
In this session, we’ll discuss the contemporary understandings of both neurodiversity and trauma, how to understand the ICF Core Competencies through those lenses, and what that means for your coaching. You will come away with tools and practical examples of how to develop your skills as a trauma-sensitive practitioner.
You Will Learn to:
- Describe contemporary understandings of both neurodiversity and trauma.
- Interpret the ICF competencies through those lenses.
- Begin to evaluate what this means for your coaching.
Coaches will come away with tools and practical examples of how to develop their skills as a trauma-sensitive practitioner.
