How do we heal from trauma? How do we become trauma informed practitioners?
This episode of the Learn With Less® podcast was recorded as a live, virtual event featuring a very special guest, psychotherapist and trauma-informed transformational coach, Michelle Hardeman-Guptill, and was aimed at both parents/caregivers as well as professionals working with infant/toddler families.
We discussed:
* Michelle’s professional and educational background, and how she came to doing the work she does today* Some good working definitions for trauma (big and little “T”)* What does it mean to be “trauma informed” as a practitioner? (& whose wheelhouse is this even in?)* Tips and resources for those hoping to start looking at / continuing their healing journey in their own trauma* Tips and resources for those serving families, who would like to engage from a more “trauma-informed” lens
