Hello-
My name is Laura Sanders, CEO of Full-Circle Coaching. I wanted to reach out and introduce myself and business as it serves a critical need for the community. Full Circle Coaching specializes in working with individuals who use power and control in their relationships. With the uptick in IPV due to COVID, there is a need for help more than ever. The market is saturated with support for the victims, but what if domestic violence can be stopped before it happens? There needs to be an intervention for the perpetrators. That’s where Full Circle Coaching comes in. As a Case Manager for the Federal Bureau of Prisons I have 20 years of experience working with men who abuse and control their partners, a master’s degree in psychology and am working towards my board certification in behavior analysis. I appreciate the fact there are a multitude of underlying issues which contribute to the abuse. Domestic violence needs to be addressed proactively, not reactively; by then it’s too late, the damage is done. By providing the clients with an opportunity to address their own communication deficits, insecurities, and trauma in a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment, I can help them build their emotional intelligence and learn new ways of communicating their wants and needs in a healthy manner. This service is absolutely not an attempt to minimize the importance of support for the victims, but rather an intervention to prevent or minimize potential for abuse. I provide my services by implementing acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) via telehealth which has been wildly effective for many people. In addition, while the service is not free, it is by far more affordable than the cost of court ordered domestic violence classes, incarceration, and job and relationship losses. If the client is willing to work, this service will increase an individual’s self-esteem, make them a better partner and parent, and provide them the tools they need to move forward in a healthy direction. With dedication, the client will be transformed into the person he/she wants to be. It’s a win-win for them, their family, and the community.
