Katie Kurtz on Trauma Informed Space Holding (E223)

I don’t think it is an exaggeration to say that trauma and all its nuanced meanings for us as human beings is having a very spotlighted moment right now. And given we are all traversing a global pandemic that really shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of us. Do you actually know however what trauma is? And isn’t? And when someone says they are trauma informed – or you say you are trauma informed – what that actually means? And also ethically does not mean as well? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Katie Kurtz, is a rising thought leader on trauma informed practices and she is here with us to dive deeper into this vital topic. If you professionally hold space for people in any capacity – this episode is a must listen. And even if you do not do that – please know that you are still a space holder in your life for your family, friends, peers and more in so many ways. And being trauma informed as a human being, and not just a professional, is therefore vital for the humanity and brave connection for us all.
