POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

You hear the word "trauma" used a lot at the moment. You hear the phrase "trauma-informed" a lot as well. But what exactly do we mean?

Providing trauma-informed care education to help empower people in their healing journeys - that's our why. We want to help. Odds are, if you're reading this far down, you want to help too. But how?

This is a short primer on what we're talking about when we talk about a trauma-informed perspective.

What have you been told about resiliency? It's not about "bouncing back." It's not about recovering the state of things as they were "before."

Trauma changes a person.

Trauma is first physiological; before it becomes psychological, before it becomes emotional. Trauma changes our biology.

Shoutout to the unsung heroes—school counselors and social workers—doing deeply relational work in a system built for efficiency, not empathy. They’re asked to “fix” kids when it’s often the system, or the adults in charge, that need healing.

Respect their work; they carry one of the toughest roles in mental health.

When cortisol rises, it activates the diencephalon—making you crave high-fat, high-calorie foods while slowing down your body’s fat-burning engine. This leads to faster fat storage and increased inflammation, which interferes with nutrient absorption and overall health.

The key isn’t more medication, but learning how to help the body stay relaxed and regulated.

Burnout is common in those working with trauma and toxic stress, often because they aren't regulating themselves well. True resilience means being able to sit with your own and others’ darkness without becoming overwhelmed.

The principles I learned in the TRLC Program have completely transformed my life over the years. They've helped me become more compassionate, intentional, and at peace in my own skin. It didn’t happen overnight—but the consistent work was worth it.

Before labeling a child with ADHD, we need to understand what in their environment might be keeping adrenaline levels so high. Sometimes, what looks like a disorder is actually a biologically correct response to stress.

Ever feel like the weight of your entire organization is on your shoulders? As a leader, your ability to stay calm and regulated directly impacts your team’s emotional state and performance. Prioritize self-regulation—because a clear mind leads to smart decisions.

When we look at the hormonal structure in trauma survivors, noradrenaline is often off the charts. This can lead to increased aggression, assertiveness, and difficulty learning from emotional experiences. Instead of just sending people to anger management, we should be asking what in their environment is keeping those stress hormones so high.
