social therapeutic coaching

Welcome to the comprehensive home of social therapeutic coaching

Improving lives, relationships, teams, families and communities since 1985.

Coach and author Carrie Sackett, MS, PCC

Social therapeutics is an innovative approach to human development. It is engineered to address the loneliness crisis, social anxiety, disassociation and isolation that we all feel to one degree or another in these times of uncertainty and disruption.

As a group-based method, social therapeutics provides new emotional and relational tools that empower people to get unstuck, feel more connected and create they lives they want, with others.

What people are saying

This is what I have been looking for! Both training in and experiencing Life Development Groups is changing in a profoundly hopeful and humanistic way how I coach and how I live. – Silvia Llacera, PCC

 

I felt a lightness after training with Carrie. I learned that I could let go of my need to get couples to a certain point. She introduced tools for connecting in a different way that’s more organic and can help my clients grow. – Susan Holt, Chair, Family Life Coaching Association

I have experienced the power of social therapeutic group and couples work as a client. It has changed my own life and my practice as a psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. Sackett and Dabby teach tools for emotional closeness. I encourage practitioners of all types to read Social Therapeutic Coaching.  — Aneil M. Shirke, MD, PhD, FABPN, FABP

Sackett and Dabby define a new niche in the modern coaching industry. Social Therapeutic Coaching introduces new/old knowledge so that coaches can help the masses during this rather difficult time of “humaning”. This book is brilliant on so many levels. — Michael Tucker MA, PCC, CSM, CSPO
