Foundational. Can see this really being transformative over time.

This was so eloquently explained. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻🪷

Wow…so helpful and incredibly articulate! Thank you. I get it.

I love this. It gave me greater understanding of another’s trauma response. One that I have only just realised and this information has helped. No doubt if I listen again I’ll see that my behaviour to can be a trauma response. Thank you.

Thank you for such an informative explanation, this is a great help for me. Namaste 🙏 ✨️

Finally, such a well-explained definition of what ‘trauma informed’ really, actually means in practice - both professionally and personally. It feels as if this concept has been diluted whilst also simultaneously complicated over the years, to the point that it often feels like an elusive ‘unicorn’ these days (especially in mainstream mental health services), something almost mythical and rarely ever seen. As a result, I fear many people seeking support are ‘re-traumatised’ by the interactions they have not only with purely informed practitioners (causing iatrogenic harm), but also with themselves - via a process of pathologising natural physiological responses to experiences occurring in our environment, then turning the person themself into ‘the problem’ needing to be ‘fixed’. As opposed to approaching them with the curiosity you describe, as someone with a story to tell and a body/nervous system that remembers every detail. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable resource 🙏🏽🌱

Thank you 😊 this was very informative and helpful for me ❣️

Interesting! I wondered what trauma-informed meant. Now I have a better idea. Thank you!
