Coming Home to Yourself: The Heart of Trauma-Informed Life Coaching
By Barbara Clark, MS, Brainspotting Certified, Founder of Self-Energy Coaching
In the whirlwind of life—especially when we’re balancing parenting, career transitions, military life, or healing from trauma—it’s easy to lose connection with ourselves. We show up for everyone else, and somewhere along the way, we forget what it feels like to show up for ourselves.
That’s where Self-Energy Coaching comes in.
We specialize in trauma-informed life coaching that gently guides you back to your inner calm—the part of you that is already whole, wise, and resilient. Whether you’re a parent, a military spouse, a mother healing from loss, or someone simply feeling burnt out and disconnected, you deserve support that sees the full picture of your story.
What Is Self-Energy?
The term Self-Energy is inspired by the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, which recognizes that we all have an innate, unbreakable core of wisdom and wholeness. No matter what you’ve been through—or how disconnected you may feel—your core Self is still there. It’s the part of you that can lead your inner system with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
At Self-Energy Coaching, we work with that truth using an integrative approach rooted in IFS-informed coaching, Brainspotting for trauma recovery, somatic awareness, and mindfulness. We believe that healing doesn’t require perfection—it only requires presence.
Self-Energy is what allows you to parent with more patience, make decisions with confidence, and approach your healing without judgment or shame.
Who We Serve
We provide support for individuals navigating complex emotional terrain, including:
Parents facing identity shifts and emotional overwhelm
Military families adjusting to deployments, relocations, and reintegration
Mothers healing from perinatal trauma, loss, or postpartum stress
Individuals recovering from burnout or chronic stress
Veterans and active-duty service members processing trauma or seeking purpose
Through a unique blend of Brainspotting, IFS coaching, and holistic stress management for moms and military spouses, we walk beside you—not ahead of you—on your healing path.
Healing Isn’t Linear—And That’s Okay
There’s a common myth that healing should be a straight line—neat, tidy, and quick. But the truth is, healing is a spiral. You revisit themes like grief, fear, or identity over time, but each time you do, you meet them with more self-awareness, more support, and more tools.
That’s the beauty of trauma-informed coaching—it honors your pace and empowers your process.
Whether you’re navigating a military transition, postpartum healing, or a midlife career change, our work honors the complexity of who you are and where you’ve been.
