note on trauma

Here are clearer guidelines for trauma-sensitive practice:

1. Safety First: To protect everyone’s emotional well-being, we avoid discussing specific traumatic events.
2. Focus on the Present: Our discussions center on current feelings and experiences, steering clear of delving into past trauma.
3. You're in Control: You decide your level of participation and engagement, ensuring you are comfortable throughout our sessions.+
4. Building Skills: Instead of recounting trauma stories, we focus on developing practical tools for self-care and emotional regulation.
5. Supportive Community: While acknowledging that many of us have experienced trauma, we foster healing through connection without sharing traumatic details.
6. Trauma-Informed Approach: Our methods are crafted with an awareness of trauma’s impacts, which guide our practices even if trauma isn’t discussed directly.

Guiding Principle: Our primary aim is to maintain a safe space for healing and personal growth, minimizing the risk of retraumatization. For those needing to address specific traumatic experiences, we advise seeking tailored support from a trauma-specialized therapist.
