Working with trauma survivors requires more than good intentions — it requires safety, curiosity, and regulated support. Trauma is not a personality flaw or a character issue; it’s a survival response to experiences that reshaped how the body and brain learned to stay alive.
When we shift from “What’s wrong with you?”to “What happened to you—and what do you need to feel safe now?”
everything changes.
Survivors don’t need to be convinced they’re safe.
They need space to feel safe.
This is why trauma-informed, survivor-centered advocacy matters.
This is why compassion matters.
This is why we do the work.
