Charting a New Course After Trauma: Coaching, Counseling, and Retreats That Actually Work

When you’ve lived through trauma, every day can feel like navigation without a compass. Spence’s True North helps you reorient—using the steady guidance of a Trauma-Informed Life Coach, specialized PTSD Recovery for Veterans, grace-driven Christian Marriage Counseling, immersive Veteran Trauma Retreats, and practical CBT Coaching for Anxiety.

What Makes Our Approach Different?

Trauma-informed means we design every step around safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. You won’t be pushed into telling your story before your nervous system is ready. Instead, we:

• Stabilize first with grounding and regulation skills
• Move at your pace with consent-based exploration
• Translate insights into small, repeatable actions
• Measure growth, not perfection

PTSD Recovery for Veterans: From Hypervigilance to Homecoming

Service members are trained to survive extreme environments—then dropped back into civilian life without a manual for the mind. Our PTSD Recovery for Veterans pathway blends structure and empathy:

• Cognitive tools to dismantle intrusive thoughts and survivor’s guilt
• Somatic practices to dial down fight/flight and restore deep sleep
• Moral injury processing, framed by integrity—not shame
• Optional peer groups to rebuild camaraderie in a safe context

Veteran Trauma Retreat: Intensive Healing in a Safe Harbor

Sometimes breakthroughs require stepping away from the noise. Our Veteran Trauma Retreat offers condensed, high-impact support:

• Facilitated trauma-processing circles with confidentiality at the core
• Mind-body experiences—breathwork, guided prayer, nature immersion
• Quiet reflection zones for journaling and integration
• Post-retreat coaching to keep momentum alive back home

Christian Marriage Counseling: Healing Hearts, Honoring Covenant

Trauma echoes in relationships—through conflict, withdrawal, or numbing. Our Christian Marriage Counseling integrates Scripture with leading-edge communication tools:

• Empathy-based dialogue structures to replace blame and shutdowns
• Forgiveness frameworks rooted in grace and accountability
• Boundary-setting that protects intimacy instead of policing it
• Shared spiritual practices—prayer, devotionals, service projects—to reconnect your mission as a couple

CBT Coaching for Anxiety: Retrain Your Brain’s “What If” Machine

Anxiety feeds on distorted thoughts. CBT Coaching for Anxiety helps you:

• Spot cognitive distortions (catastrophizing, mind-reading, black-or-white thinking)
• Build graded exposure plans so fear loses its grip session by session
• Create stabilizing daily routines that support calm and clarity
• Track progress with simple tools so you see wins in black and white
