Connectedness has the power to counterbalance adversity.
There is great comfort in understanding that trauma is not the event itself but the experience of the event. A child can find recovery & hope for the future when they have caring adults around them who help to make sense of their experience.
When together we explore what has happened in a safe and loving way, it enables the child to let go of fear, shame and self-blame. Gives them confidence that it’s ok to reach out & we will be there.
When a child feels supported by us, trauma loses its power to isolate, silence and hurt. Loving relationships are everything – healing happens in connection.
