Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed care recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and prioritizes emotional safety, choice, and empowerment. Many individuals seeking mental health care have experienced trauma, whether recognized or not.
This approach ensures that care does not unintentionally recreate feelings of fear, loss of control, or vulnerability.
Core Principles
Trauma-informed care emphasizes:
-
Safety, both emotional and physical
-
Trust and transparency
-
Choice and collaboration
-
Empowerment and respect
What This Means in Practice
Sessions are paced carefully, boundaries are respected, and you remain in control of what is discussed. The focus is on building stability and reducing the impact of trauma on daily life, rather than revisiting painful experiences unnecessarily.
