Thread: It's not a soft touch but a compassionate one. 1. @AlexJODonnell and I are delighted to share the launch of our new, first of its kind, trauma responsive justice programme called Conecture (Latin for "join together”). #TraumaResponsiveScotland

You made it. Whether just barely or it all went smoothly... you did it. If you're tired, then take this as a reminder that that's not a flaw but simply information. You don't need to do anything more to "earn" rest. Rest IS productive. Rest IS reparative. 💜

In the drum-up towards our #NeuroNarratives podcast, you don't have to go completely without Epione voices 😁 If you head over to our YouTube channel now, you'll find plenty of resources you can pop on and learn along with! 📽️ youtube.com/watch?v=88-Mb2…

What topics feel most important to you at the moment? What are you curious about? What kinds of resources would be the most supportive right now? What gaps would you like addressed? 🤝

When someone witnesses your story and is able to meet it with validation, kindness and respect, it forms a new ‘template’ for what healthy connection or even boundaries can look like. It can soothe our nervous system in ways we may not have thought was ever an option for us.💜

Some experiences shape more than one lifetime. Acknowledging how history can live in the present won’t keep us stuck. Instead, it will help us consciously create better conditions for care that strengthens wellbeing across generations. #IntergenerationalTrauma #MentalHealth

Safe + Seen + In Control ➡️ the key ingredients supporting post-traumatic growth If we aim to reduce coercion, promote dignity and support people to participate in their own care, we foster deeply humane environments that shift away from control and towards collaboration. 🤗

Research says trauma-informed care can make services safer and more supportive. The key? Leadership buy-in, staff support and a long-term culture change. It's less about the one perfect model, more about commitment to continuous compassion. ❤️‍🩹 📝 - short-url.org/1gfOu

Mid-week ✨Glimmer✨ check-in! If this week is flying by, or even if it’s dragging its feet… you’re invited to pause here. What’s one small thing that made you feel a little lighter this week? A glimmer might exist at any moment. It reminds you you’re still capable of joy.

Too often, trauma histories are not woven into mental health care so many of people go on to experience re-traumatisation. With more trauma-informed approaches, we can do more than just treat symptoms, we can begin to mend past wounds. 🤗 📝- pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36519519/

Sometimes the very people we rely on for love and protection can become a source of fear and pain. 💔 This can leave lasting marks on our minds, bodies, and relationships. 📝- doi.org/10.1016/j.ejtd… #AttachmentTrauma #Research #RelationalWounds #TraumaInformed

When we see dissociation for what it really is, a protective trauma response that’s more than just “spacing out”, we can make sure we’re offering support instead of judgement or silence. 💪 📝- pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC91…
