Discussion
As more and more people become aware of their own trauma, or we encounter trauma material while facilitating, it has become more imperative than ever to be trauma informed. But what does that mean, and what does it require of us in how we facilitate or engage our own traumawork?
In this class, Wangũi will draw on her experience both as a client and facilitator trained in various modalities (outside of processwork) to guide us in awareness of various nervous system responses that are pertinent in the course of traumawork. Together, we will practice tools with which to support both ourselves, clients and/or groups so we can engage traumawork with reduced risk of retraumatisation.
In a colonial world that continues to manufacture trauma, it is a matter of justice to have these awarenesses and tools as facilitators, so the spaces we hold are “nurturing and not torturing”.*
(*Grateful to Maytik Avirama for this nurturing not torturing language.)
