The Support Map Cheat Sheet

The Support Map Cheat Sheet is a quick, trauma-informed guide that helps you understand the difference between therapy, coaching, advocacy, and advisory support, so you can choose the right kind of help without confusion or pressure. It breaks each support type down in plain language, including what it’s for, what it can realistically provide, and what boundaries to expect. This resource is especially helpful if you’ve ever felt unsure about who to trust, overwhelmed by too many options, or frustrated after receiving support that didn’t match what you actually needed. The goal is simple: help you get the right support at the right time—safely and clearly.
