from Trauma | Resonance | Resilience · host Dr Lisa Cherry

Send us Fan MailJoin Dr Lisa Cherry in conversation with Betsy de Thiery about why vague trauma language creates real harm, from shallow training to rising shame for people living with complex trauma. We argue for clearer definitions, better role boundaries in services and a return to community and connection as the foundation for recovery.RESOURCES:Trauma Recovery-UK, which is a highly specialised therapy centre charity for children and their families who have experienced trauma. www.trc-uk.org Trauma Recovery Global https://www.traumarecoveryglobal.com/Amazon links to books: https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Betsy-de-Thierry/author/B07BB398RW?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1776341282&sr=1-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSupport the showThank you for listening!
