Traditional approaches failed her because…
They treated her symptoms, not the root cause:

Childhood trauma
Unprocessed grief
Self-abandonment
“You can’t heal what you don’t acknowledge.” #RootCauseHealing #TraumaAware

A quote by Michelle Rosenthall on a blurred outdoor background regarding the difference between trauma and healing.

Trauma creates change you don't choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose.

Trauma-informed teaching is about understanding behavior. It is not about excusing behavior. It is about teaching the whole student.

Trauma follows children into the classroom. A new teaching model is changing that Trauma and adverse childhood experiences can impede the very capacities learning relies on. But with the right teaching model, classrooms can become a key source of stability, says University of Melbo...

Students carrying trauma face challenges in attention, memory, language, and relationships—the very skills learning depends on. With the right teacher training, we can make a difference 👀

Your body has a better memory than you think. It keeps score of stress, safety, and the systems you live inside—and then reports through energy, mood, and health.

If you struggle to “get into your body,” it’s often because your system doesn’t feel safe yet ~ not because you’re doing it wrong. This is a gentle way to bypass overthinking and reconnect through sensation instead of force. No… #somaticawareness #nervoussystemregulation #embodiment #traumaaware

I’m not burning out because I’m weak.
I’m burning out because I’ve been strong for too long, without support or pause.
You’re not alone.
We don’t need to prove our worth through exhaustion.
We need permission to exhale.

You can be the one who holds it all together,
and also the one who falls apart.
Being the “strong one” is lonely.
It’s also a survival strategy.
What if you didn’t have to be so strong all the time?
Just for today, let something heavy go.

Beneath the fire, a tender unraveling whispers healing.
Let the cosmic hum ground your heart as tension softens into grace.

Softness isn’t silence — it’s how we hold what hurts without making it louder. True comfort doesn’t erase pain, it honors it gently. Like a cloud that blurs your vision shortly allowing you to see more clearly—subtle, sincere, and finally safe. #SoftDoctrine #TraumaAware #HealingThroughComfort

“Why am I like this?”
Because your body did what it had to, to protect you.

Men feel deeply. Silence isn’t strength—it’s shielding.
#MensMentalHealth #TraumaAware #FeelToHeal

Trauma hides in hyper-independence, overthinking, and people-pleasing.
Regulation brings us back home to ourselves.

🚨 Long waiting lists don’t just delay care—they retraumatise those in need. Trauma-informed care means recognising the harm in systemic barriers and demanding better. Mental health support should be accessible, not a privilege.

Hearing from a climate friend based in Western North Carolina who is still displaced from his campus last week, along with the raging LA fires has me thinking that we need to be even more intentional about the connections between trauma aware teaching and climate action in hashtag#HigherEd. hashtag#HigherEd needs to get serious, quickly, about transforming our curriculum and models to meet our current and future realities. Obviously, mitigation of the worst climate impacts has to be a part of that. At the same time, we also have the face the reality of living in the era of permadisaster, and deepen our understanding of how to support students, staff, and faculty living through trauma, often without a clear end in sight to the disasters they're experiencing. I have a lot of trauma-aware/hashtag#TraumaInformed friends on here. I have a lot of hashtag#ClimateAction friends on here. I hope we can begin/continue to cultivate the connections between our work as we continue to have these NECESSARY conversations and take appropriate action. In the meantime, this is one small offering to those in the thick of things. May it be of benefit.

Thinking about the intersections b/t #TraumaAware teaching and #ClimateAction in #HigherEd a lot lately.

The FSU RISE (Resilience Institute for Strength and Empowerment) logo appears at the bottom on a burgundy background.

🌟 Creating a healing-centered workplace means integrating trauma-aware practices into every aspect of organizational life at FSU.

In short, #trauma is in our classrooms. We are not clinicians (scope of practice!), and it's also true that we can, as educators, create conditions to support students experiencing trauma responses and #PTSD. Here is a checklist I've created to help: bit.ly/traumacheckl...
