Episode 44: Human Literate, what we REALLY mean when we say trauma informed

In this episode, I am joined by a GEM of a human, Jessica Benstock. In it we dive into how trauma informed has been grossly manipulated creating a culture of placating and a lack of leadership and accountability. Jessica coined the term human literate to replace trauma informed as the whole purpose of being trauma informed is being able to HEAL the very trauma that we are meant to be informed about. We have both observed, when we placate to it and walk on egg shells we perpetuate defenses rather than facilitate healing. I reached out to Jessica to be a guest because this NEEDS to be discussed and shifted. We can do so much better here. Join us for this extremely important and spicy conversation!!
