What no one tells you when you become trauma-informed

Here is what no one tells you when you become trauma-informed...

There are so many mutually beneficial possibilities that can come from practicing trauma-informed care.

These possibilities will only continue to increase as we see this approach enter new industries and become more adopted.

But today I want to talk to you about the things no one ever tells you about once you become trauma-informed.?

Here are 6 things no one tells you about becoming trauma-informed...?

1. You might attract more aligned clients, colleagues, and people in your life and work because you lead more clearly with your values and intentions.?
2. You might access more capacity to show up in the work you lead because you are more attuned and honoring your own boundaries and nervous system needs.
3. You might feel relief from knowing you can market and sell in an ethical and human-centered way that feels good for both you and your clients.
4. You might feel affirmed in knowing that you were doing many of these practices but now know why, thus feeling more confident in how you show up and lead your work.
5. Your clients might refer more people to you because they have identified you as a trusted resource that stands out in your industry.
6. You might notice the practices you use professionally start to enter your personal life thus strengthening and enhancing your own relationships.

Here are some additional possibilities that I hear most commonly from the folks I train:

• You center each person in their own experience?because you trust that every person you work with is an expert on themselves.
• You acknowledge everyone’s pace and process,?in their learning style, in digesting new information, in their decision-making process, and in how they integrate what they learn.
• You create a culture of consent in everything you do,?by using consensual communications, asking really good questions, listening with resonance, acknowledging the value of silence, and knowing how to hold space without having to know all the answers.?
• You take a collaborative approach with your clients & colleagues,?by removing hierarchy, power sharing, dismantling the idea of authority, and acknowledging & honoring everyone's autonomy and agency.
• You recognize that trust & safety cannot be assumed,?that it is built over time, in small moments, and must continuously be prioritized and promoted.
• You understand the importance of nervous system regulation?both for yourself as the space-holder & your clients, so you can be actively present with the person in front of you during your time together.
• You can confidently recognize the signs of dysregulation?both within yourself and your clients & how to self-regulate to extend co-regulation and bring the space back to center.
• You feel competent & capable of resisting and reducing harm,?and have a clear and well-communicated harm repair plan in place if and when harm is caused.
• You weave humanity into everything you do,?including your own by attuning to your boundaries, nervous system needs, cycles and capacity
• You know that being trauma-informed is a lifelong commitment, that perfection is both unrealistic and not sustainable—and that’s okay.

Simply put, adopting a trauma-informed approach will impact everything you do- how you hold space, how you support your clients inside & outside of your sessions, and how you support yourself as a human.?

You’ll walk away being able to intersect and simultaneously enhance your existing skillset—both in how you serve folks and your business practices—by truly holding people’s full humanity.
