I’ve got a chance next month to speak with a large agency that serves 30,000 people who have in one or more ways been seriously impacted by trauma. And who have little or no money.<\/p>\n

I believe the best thing that can be done when trying to help someone is to ask, “What helps you?”<\/p>\n

This benefits me as well – being asked.<\/p>\n

In personal settings or in professional settings – if someone is wanting to support my growth, development or goals it’s nice if we have a conversations.<\/p>\n

Too often, I find this missing from organizations who claim to be trauma sensitive and to serve trauma survivors.<\/p>\n

At this talk I’ll\u00a0speak\u00a0from my own experiences as a trauma survivor, writer and researcher of “all things trauma” and pull in comments and insights from the trauma survivors I’ve profiled who generously shared time and experiences. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re game – I would love your input as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are willing to complete any of the following sentences (and you can private message me) I would be so grateful.<\/p>\n

\n

When broke and post-traumatically stressed I most need…<\/p>\n

When broke and post-traumatically stressed, I most crave…<\/p>\n

When broke and post-traumatically stressed, what’s hardest is…<\/p>\n

When broke and post-traumatically stressed, what always helps me most is…<\/p>\n

I manage best when broke and post-traumatically stressed by ….<\/p>\n

My personal feeling is that the voices of trauma survivors are often missing from conversations about what trauma survivor most want, need or find helpful.<\/p>\n

That’s what I’m hoping to contribute.<\/p>\n

AND, if there’s some memory or thought or insight or gratitude you’d be willing to share that would be wonderful as well.<\/p>\n

For example, I’ll never forget the time when I was broke and post-traumatically stressed that (____ person) did\/said\/taught me\/showed me…..<\/p>\n

I want to remind people who are working hard, for little money and who also often have a trauma history that have done some great work and what’s been helpful, affirming and life-changingly wow. They might need resources or insights or tools you already have.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
