Ep. 134: What if Trauma Informed... Isn't?

We cannot be trauma informed without changing our beliefs about human behavior. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How staying focused on behavior is objectifying and dehumanizing
• Why we cannot heal vulnerable nervous systems with objectifying approaches
• How our culture sets parents up to believe good parents are in control of their kids behaviors
• How to begin deconstructing these beliefs so we can stay in our owl brain
