Stress Coaching:  

  • Stress coaching is a specialized form of personal coaching designed to help you understand and manage stress.
  • Stress from unexpected events or even from our daily lives in general, can hit us at any point in time. Sometimes stress can be very overwhelming to deal with on our own.
  • Stress can lead to unfavorable coping mechanisms such as drug abuse, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, physical effects such as loss of sleep, weight gain or loss, change in behavior, or change in daily routines.
  • Stress coaching is about learning how to manage your stress in a way that does not affect the quality of your life. Coach Josh will help you look at the situation from a different, more positive perspective so that you can achieve your defined goal of living a peaceful and less stressful lifestyle, and he will help you look at the situation from a different view to help you set realistic and achievable goals while helping create a safe, peaceful and supportive environment while providing ongoing support.
  • Stress coaching is not about eliminating stress, but about learning how to navigate it effectively.

Trauma Coaching:

  • The word “trauma” literally means wound, shock, or injury. Psychological trauma is a person’s experience of emotional distress resulting from an event that overwhelms the capacity to emotionally digest it. 
  • Trauma can be caused by encountering severe mental/emotional stress or physical injury after directly or indirectly experiencing a crisis situation or event.
  • When it comes to coping with trauma, Coach Josh understands that traumatic experiences undermine a person’s sense of safety in the world and create a sense that catastrophe could strike at any time.
  • Parental loss in childhood, motor vehicle accidents, physical violence, sexual assault, military combat experiences, natural disasters, the unexpected loss of a loved one and any sudden or violent disruptions in one’s life are prime examples of events that can lead to trauma.
  •  Although trauma is a normal response to an abnormal situation or event, learning how to cope with trauma related effects can be difficult however, Coach Josh is available to help you start the coping process.

Christian Coaching:

  • Christian coaching is an ongoing conversation that empowers a person to fully live out God’s calling – in their life and profession. The goal of coaching is for you to listen to the Holy Spirit, discover new things about yourself, and take action to reshape your life around that learning.
  • The coaching relationship is expected to produce insights, greater personal awareness, changed behaviors, actions, and ultimately results that satisfy the client. Much is expected of you: to evaluate, reason, imagine, decide, and implement.
  • This unique style of coaching is designed to help understand faith or belief in God and Jesus Christ through independent, private sessions in a peaceful non-judgmental, safe and relaxed environment.
  • These sessions are also designed to help the client become more familiar with God’s word recorded in the bible, the life of Jesus Christ as presented in the Gospel, and how to build a relationship with Christ through dedication, servitude, faith and prayer.
  • These sessions are non-denominational in nature and focus on the interpretation of the Holy Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ according to the Gospels found in the New Testament.
