Healing from trauma is not a straight line—it’s a journey that asks for safety, trust, and practical tools. At Spence’s True North, we blend evidence-based strategies with soul-level care so you can move from merely surviving to truly living. Whether you need PTSD Recovery for Veterans, Christian Marriage Counseling, a restorative Veteran Trauma Retreat, or CBT Coaching for Anxiety, you’ll find a clear path forward here.
Why “Trauma-Informed” Matters
A Trauma-Informed Life Coach understands how trauma reshapes the brain, the body, and day-to-day behavior. Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with you?” we ask, “What happened to you—and how can we help you feel safe, seen, and strong again?”
Our coaching model emphasizes:
- Safety and consent in every conversation
- Regulation before revelation—we calm the nervous system before diving into hard stories
- Collaborative goal-setting so you feel in charge of your recovery
- Skills over shame—you leave each session with practical strategies, not just insight
PTSD Recovery for Veterans: Reclaiming Your Mission
Military service can etch deep patterns of hypervigilance, moral injury, and isolation. Our PTSD Recovery for Veterans program is built around camaraderie, structure, and proven tools.
What you can expect:
- Tailored coaching plans that respect your service history and current stressors
- Somatic grounding techniques to dial down fight/flight responses
- Cognitive restructuring to challenge intrusive thoughts and survivor’s guilt
- Peer support options to remind you that you’re not alone in this fight
Veteran Trauma Retreat: Reset, Restore, Reconnect
Sometimes the most powerful breakthroughs happen away from everyday noise. Our Veteran Trauma Retreat offers a safe, immersive environment to process pain, rebuild trust, and rediscover purpose.
Retreat highlights:
- Guided trauma-processing workshops with qualified facilitators
- Mind-body modalities (breathwork, guided prayer, nature immersion)
- Brotherhood/sisterhood circles focused on confidentiality and respect
- Post-retreat integration coaching to sustain momentum once you’re home
Christian Marriage Counseling: Faith, Forgiveness, and Forward Motion
If your relationship feels frayed by trauma, addiction, or miscommunication, our Christian Marriage Counseling track brings Scripture-informed wisdom together with modern therapeutic practices. We believe Christ’s model of grace and truth can heal what conflict has torn.
You’ll gain:
- Communication frameworks rooted in empathy, not accusation
- Forgiveness practices that go beyond “I’m sorry” to true reconciliation
- Boundaries that protect intimacy instead of blocking it
- Shared spiritual disciplines—prayer, devotion, service—that knit you closer
CBT Coaching for Anxiety: Think Better, Feel Better
Anxiety often hijacks your thoughts—and then your life. With CBT Coaching for Anxiety, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to help you:
- Identify and interrupt catastrophic thinking
- Build exposure hierarchies to gradually face fears
- Develop daily routines that stabilize mood and energy
- Track progress with simple, repeatable exercises
CBT is collaborative and action-oriented. Each session ends with homework you actually want to do because it produces relief you can feel.
