Have you been seeing the term "trauma informed" and wonder what it actually means?
In today's episode, I share what it means to be trauma informed (hint... there is no standard for the term) and if it is sufficient for helping people heal trauma. Particularly prolonged, interpersonal, and/or childhood trauma.
This is for those searching for someone to help them heal and those who may desire to become "trauma informed" to help others heal.

Episode Notes:
- "Trauma-informed" is a term that has been used more frequently in recent years, especially by professionals offering to help people heal from trauma.
- The term refers to a basic awareness and understanding of trauma and how to avoid retraumatizing or triggering someone who has experienced trauma.
- However, there is no standard definition of what it means to be trauma-informed, and it can range from having read a book on trauma to having attended specialized training.
- Being trauma-informed can be beneficial for professionals in various fields, such as yoga instructors and teachers, who may encounter trauma survivors in their work.
- While being trauma-informed is important, it may not be sufficient on its own to fully heal trauma. Additional specialized treatment may be necessary.
