Episode 425: Trauma Informed Versus Able to Treat

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome to my first podcast minisode! I’ll be dropping these short episodes on the first and third Fridays of the month (in addition to the regular episodes every Wednesday). They’ll be about ten minutes long, ad-free, and it could be anything from a book I’m reading that I think you might like, or my hot take on something happening in pop culture. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since the theme we’re talking about over the next few months is all about healing; more specifically around trauma and different healing modalities, I wanted to take a moment to talk about something important, and that’s how we talk about trauma publicly. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I wanted to give my opinion, as someone in the personal empowerment field. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The good news is that trauma is talked about now more than it ever has been. Previously, the only “appropriate” time to talk about it would have been in a psychiatrist's office. If you spend any time in the self-help spaces on social media, you’ll see that the topic of trauma is having its time in the spotlight. Which is great, but does come with a drawback. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this minisode, I talk about: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The difference between trauma-informed and trauma-responsive </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why that should matter to you</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">What to look for in a practitioner/coach and what’s okay and not okay in terms of treating trauma </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don't forget– if you’re interested in learning more and possibly signing up for my next Daring Way™ Retreat (the first one in almost three years!) hop on over to</span> <a href="http://andreaowen.com/retreat"><span style= "font-wei
