The sun is shining as I arrive at @SOAS for training in supporting crisis prone patients. #NHS #mentalhealth #trauma #dissociation

I've been away from social media for some weeks as I've been in sacred healing rituals. I'll be starting to share over the coming days. It's important for me that the sharing doesn't start too soon as it can block the processing.

I’m very proud this week to have supported football v homophobia. This movement aims to make football welcoming of LGBTQ+ people. 

I play in a league that’s open to non-binary people, trans people and women @TheAFLeague #footballvhomophobia #fvh

Did you know that our functional IQ is impacted by safety? IQ can effectively by halved when we are in a state of terror, which is a common state for trauma survivors.

Yoga Teachers! Gain practical insight into dealing with dissociation & dysregulation in #yoga classes as well as the importance of steadying your own nervous system first - co regulation is key. (This one really reduces the fear of working with trauma)

It was wonderful to be delivering Trauma Informed training to forensic psychologists in prison today.

If you're interested in this approach as a yoga teacher there's still time to sign up to certify as an Accredited Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher with us this year.

[TraumaTherapyMcr @TherapyMcr]

This carries through to trauma sensitive work too - if you're a yoga teacher, are there times you assume gender when you address a whole group? Eg 'good evening ladies.' What terms could you use instead that are gender neutral?

[TraumaTherapyMcr @TherapyMcr]

I loved that at the start of our football match the ref got both teams in a circle to say our pronouns. Great work @TheAFLeague in creating a gender inclusive space where people, some of whom may be carrying wounds around gender identity, don't get misgendered.

[TraumaTherapyMcr @TherapyMcr]

Misgendering: referring to someone by the wrong pronouns eg he/him instead of she/her or they/them.

It takes some intention not to automatically shout 'come on boys/girls/lads'. And if you do, it's cool to shout an apology and new offering eg 'sorry, I mean team/friends/people'

[TraumaTherapyMcr @TherapyMcr]

I've had my first Compassionate Inquiry meeting about the year long internship and I have that familiar overwhelm. What's different is the inner voice that's telling me it's ok, that I don't need it all to make sense right away. There's time.

[TraumaTherapyMcr @TherapyMcr]

I met with all the tutors from the 2022 training to review what went well and look at how we can make it EVEN BETTER this year! 💪
