Season 7 Episode 11 | Trauma Survivorship Doesn't Make You Qualified
I've talked before about the difference between trauma sensitive vs trauma informed — check out Episode 3 of Season 7 for the most recent episode on the subject. But what I want to talk about today might... ruffle some feathers.
Okay, it might straight up make some people upset. But this is something I really need to put out there, so here goes.
Being a trauma survivor does not automatically make you a trauma-sensitive coach.
Education does. Training, skill development, and implementation of those skills and that education — those are the things that make someone trauma sensitive.
Does trauma survivorship bring a better understanding, a different lens, and an ability to relate? Of course. But that is not enough to claim trauma sensitivity.
So if you're still with me (and I hope you are), let's talk about why — and for full transparency, I'm going to use myself as an example.
