-Trauma Informed

                                          Trauma informed is  a deep sense of compassion and respect for the lived experiences of others.

Trauma informed is recognizing that most people have a history of trauma.

Most bad behaviors, addictions, anger, learning disorders, mental illness and physical conditions all stem from trauma.

Think about the world DIS- EASE   ( Dis means apart )

When we apart  from ease,  we  have disease 

This is so true. 

                                                                                 If we can get to a place of  ease…   we don’t have disease. 

                                                   Through compassion, respect and support trauma can be transformed, then Transcended trauma.

                                             This is healing , and we can all do it. Trauma informed concepts are Aspirational AND achievable.

                                                                         Achievable one on one, in  families, communities and organizations.

      Trauma informed thinking - paradigm shift out of the way we usually think. Our culture and our work expects us to think in our cognitive brain

                                                                       asking us to sort, categorize ,contrast, analyze, compare, and label.

As a medical provider, this perspective is the norm.

The way that we speak to each other, We would say a hypertensive ,diabetic ,alcoholic…

But instead… imagine putting this conventional lens that we look through most of the time, down. 

And pick up a trauma informed lens / Everything looks different 

Instead of thinking , what is wrong with this person ?  

Consider,  “How could this human in front of me, be related to me? “ ( My Grandmother, sister, child ?)  

And what have they lived through ? 

Seeing through a trauma informed lens is like using  SOFT EYES 

- non judgment, respect, and love 

Once you see from this lens, you will never go back.
