What is Trauma and Trauma Informed Care? With Michelle Hardeman-Guptill

How do we heal from trauma? How do we become trauma informed practitioners? This episode of the Learn With Less® podcast was recorded as a live, virtual event featuring a very special guest, psychotherapist and trauma-informed transformational coach, Michelle Hardeman-Guptill, and was aimed at both parents/caregivers as well as professionals working with infant/toddler families. We discussed: * Michelle’s professional and educational background, and how she came to doing the work she does today* Some good working definitions for trauma (big and little “T”)* What does it mean to be “trauma informed” as a practitioner? (& whose wheelhouse is this even in?)* Tips and resources for those hoping to start looking at / continuing their healing journey in their own trauma* Tips and resources for those serving families, who would like to engage from a more “trauma-informed” lens HELPFUL RESOURCES RELATED TO THIS EPISODE What is Trauma and Trauma-Informed Care? handout created by Michelle Hardeman-Guptill Trauma-Informed Service Providers Collective, a free group from Michelle Hardeman-Guptill The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel Van der kolk Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma: A Workbook for Survivors and Therapists, by Janina Fisher Polyvagal Flip Chart, by Deb Dana National Center for Trauma Informed Care National Child Traumatic Stress Network Learn With Less® Bundle: get our favorite infant and toddler development resources (save 70%)!
