135. What Happened to You? How to Be Trauma Informed

Would you prefer the question what happened to you verses wrong is wrong with you? Do you know what it means to be trauma informed? We may believe that we do a good job of being somewhat aware of trauma, but there are things we could be missing. When we aren’t properly trauma informed, we can cause other’s lives to be even more traumatized without even realizing it. AND, we can be even more traumatized ourselves. In this episode, you will hear about what it means to be trauma informed and what we can do to be more trauma informed. This is effective in our homes, workplaces, social settings, churches and basic community.

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” ~Psalm 34:18

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” ~Psalm 147:3
