Trauma-informed care emphasizes creating safe, respectful spaces for individuals who've experienced trauma. It involves understanding the prevalence and impact of trauma, ensuring physical and emotional safety, and fostering a sense of trust and empowerment within therapeutic settings.
Respecting Individual Responses:
This approach recognizes that individuals' responses to trauma are normal reactions to abnormal events. It avoids re-traumatization by respecting boundaries, consent, and autonomy, offering choices, and validating personal experiences.
