Coach Brian Stutesman

About Brian

Brian Stutesman is a life coach who helps people move through trauma without shame by teaching how to face emotions honestly, grieve what was lost, and find clarity on the other side. Drawing from lived experience, faith, and deep compassion, his work reframes fear, doubt, and “failure” as signals—not flaws. His approach is grounded, practical, and spiritually centered, creating space for transformation that feels safe, real, and sustainable.

Focus areas

PTSD and complex trauma
Feeling “too much” or “too intense” emotionally
Faith deconstruction and rebuilding trust in God
Pattern recognition in relationships and reactions
Learning to fight well without destroying connection

Faith & worldview
