Your Course Creator:
Caroline Strawson
Hello, I’m Caroline Strawson, a multi-award winning Certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach and founder of The Accredited School of Trauma Informed Positive Psychology
I may be all that, but I am, first and foremost, human. Just like you.
In 2010, I experienced a series of life changing traumatic events. My mum, who was my rock, died very suddenly, and my husband walked out on me and our two children and I realised I had been in an abusive marriage .
I was left with over £70,000 ($100,000) worth of debt and, at that time, even lost my family home in 2013. I was homeless with two children. I was at rock bottom, a shell of myself.
Eventually, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, and realised that I was suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and self harm. All the while thinking “How could an intelligent woman like myself, with a medical background, find herself in this situation!?!”
I felt stupid, alone, isolated, and in a very dark place. No one seemed to understand what I was going through, and the more I seemed to talk about the trauma and abuse I suffered, the more I felt misunderstood.
The truth is, I needed someone who understood my trauma, but that person didn’t exist.
My personal journey with abuse, trauma and healing, paired with my background in neuroscience and professional coaching experience and therapy, inspired me to take this path to educate people like you so that you can understand how your experiences have impacted you and how you can heal.
Why Should You Listen To Me?
I Don’t Want Anyone Else To Suffer The Pain I Did For As Long As I Did
Over the years, I’ve worked hard to educate myself in this space to ensure that I can help more sufferers of abuse and trauma to heal deeply.
I want you to have your own personal EVOLUTION just like I have because life is for living and not existing and I spent decades merely existing.
In that time, I’ve achieved the following qualifications and certifications that allow me to do this:
- BSc (Hons)
- PGCert in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology
- Accredited Narcissistic Abuse Specialist
- Brainspotting Phase 3
- Internal Family Systems Level 3
- Somatic Experiencing (Advanced)
- Certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach
- Certified High-Performance Coach
- Accredited Divorce & Breakup Coach
- EMDR (Attachment-Focused) Practitioner
- Clinical Hypnotherapist & Master Hypnotherapy Trainer
- Certified Breathwork Teacher
- Polyvagal Informed
- Applied Neuroscience & Brain Health Certification
- Advanced Certificate in Domestic Abuse
- Safe & Sound Protocol Practitioner
I’m On A Mission To Equip The World With Trauma-Informed Strategies
Host of #1 Podcast
I host the #1 iTunes Podcast ‘The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast’, providing my community with additional tangible tools and techniques to help them on their recovery journey with over 4.3 million downloads.
