What an absolute privilege it was to facilitate conversation with New Horizons this morning about how to safely help trauma survivors on their journey of healing ❤️‍🩹

It was lovely to share from the perspective of both therapist and a trauma survivor myself 💪🏻

Feels like forever since I’ve delivered any kind of group work but this fully enjoyable…such a privilege to share with and hear from the participants this morning!

“How we frame our symptoms will massively impact how we feel about ourselves - as broken, damaged and defective, OR as resourceful human beings…our symptoms are merely our best, primitive attempts at staying alive - neither a sign of badness nor madness” Carolyn Spring

As therapists we really are not great at taking care of ourselves, or maybe that’s just me 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s so easy to go from client to client and not take time to take a breath, to check in and reconnect with ourselves…

I was on my supervisor’s course today and one of my peers shared this (thank you ❤️)

Sharing here as a wee reminder to take care, to make space for the person inside the practitioner ❤️❤️
