You know the script:
“I’m good.”“Just tired.”“It’s nothing.”
Except it is something. The 3 a.m. alarms in your chest. The way anger flares out of nowhere. The way silence sits between you and your spouse like a third person at the table.
Spence’s True North is where you stop white-knuckling it and start healing with help. We offer a Trauma-Informed Life Coach experience that respects your story and your pace—plus targeted services like PTSD Recovery for Veterans, Christian Marriage Counseling, immersive Veteran Trauma Retreats, and results-driven CBT Coaching for Anxiety.
What “Trauma-Informed” Actually Means (And Why You Should Care)
It’s not a buzzword. It’s a map.
We assume your nervous system needs safety before it can handle deep dives.
We ask permission before we push.
We trade shame for skills, and theory for actionable tools.
We honor your faith, identity, and boundaries—because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Bottom line: You’re not a problem to be fixed—you’re a person to be supported.
PTSD Recovery for Veterans: Off the Battlefield, Not Out of the Fight
War rewires the brain. Civilian life rarely comes with instructions. Our PTSD Recovery for Veterans program brings structure back in the best way:
Somatic grounding to quiet the hyper-alert body
Cognitive reframing to challenge intrusive thoughts & moral injury
Peer-based options to get that “someone actually gets it” relief
Practical sleep and routine resets so nights stop feeling like combat zones
You carried the mission. Now you get to carry yourself—differently.
Veteran Trauma Retreat: Hit Pause, Then Reset
When the noise is constant, healing needs a container. Our Veteran Trauma Retreat is that container.
Facilitated trauma-processing circles in absolute confidentiality
Breathwork, guided prayer, and nature immersion to reset your nervous system
Integration sessions post-retreat so the breakthrough doesn’t evaporate on Monday
It’s not a vacation. It’s a recalibration.
Christian Marriage Counseling: Grace in the Gaps
Your vows didn’t include “until trauma do us part.” Our Christian Marriage Counseling invites Scripture and science to the same table:
Conflict tools grounded in empathy and active listening
Forgiveness frameworks that move beyond quick apologies
Boundaries that protect closeness instead of blocking it
Shared practices—prayer, service, devotion—that stitch you back together
Love is a verb. Let’s re-learn how to do it.
CBT Coaching for Anxiety: Quiet the What-Ifs
Anxiety is a storyteller—and it’s not a kind one. CBT Coaching for Anxiety teaches you to edit the script:
Spot and stop distortions: catastrophizing, mind-reading, all-or-nothing
Set up exposure ladders so fear shrinks, step by step
Build rituals—sleep, movement, reflection—that anchor your day
Track progress in black and white so you see change, not just hope for it
Thoughts are habits. Habits can change.
