Early Book Endorsements
“Finally, a detailed practical guide! Recent years have seen many popular books on the evolving, underlying philosophies involved in approaching trauma… but what Harper has created is a rare trinity; comprehensive, in-depth, but, most importantly, applied. She has deftly isolated and delineated the ideal, evidence-based models and tools required for contemporary trauma-informed coaching. Hard-won insights from years of impassioned exploration, distilled into a well-structured, must-have toolkit for coaches – this book will save you years of searching!”
– Tom Granger, author of “Draw Breath; The Art of Breathing.”
“Joanna Harper uses her skill as an expert trainer to offer a wealth of tools and information in a way that makes it all feel like simple common sense. A compassionate and educated way to expect and manage the unexpected in your client work. This book is an essential read for any coach or therapist new to the concept of being trauma-informed.”
– Cheryl White, author of “So now I’m a Practitioner? Help!”
“Trauma-informed coach” by Joanna Harper is an invaluable book for coaches. Trauma often shows itself in a coaching session as the client can feel stuck in a certain area and can’t move forward.
This book gives detailed case studies of how coaches can support someone that has experienced trauma to empower themselves. I appreciate Saira’s complex case study; it is an important element of the book and has great actionable tips for cultural differences and more complicated trauma cases. I appreciated this approach as a woman of colour myself who has had some bad experiences in a therapy room. Joanna gives great advice to be more sensitive to this.
The models, especially APEX, are quick and easy to understand and easily use. This book has already transformed my approach to my coaching sessions with its simplicity and logical approach. A MUST for all coaches! I loved reading it and have learnt so much. It has simple steps and is packed full of trauma information so coaches can better understand their clients. I am already recommending it to my coach peers.”
– Manpreet Johal Bernie, host of “Intergenerational trauma podcast Heart’s Happiness.”
