Description
So much of an individual’s healing journey revolves around one’s ability to share their story. It is in the response to one’s story that individuals can feel seen, validated, and understood OR judged, minimized, and cast aside. As practitioners, it is important for us to be mindful of the power of story and how it can lead individuals and communities towards healing. This workshop seeks to elevate the realness of trauma, helping practitioners to learn the basic fundamentals of trauma. It also provides participants with practical tools that they can use in their respective communities when working with those who’ve been harmed to help elevate stories while reducing the risk of re-traumatization.
