Ep. 109 Go From Survival Mode to Learning Mode with a Trauma-Informed Approach
Trauma-informed care isn’t just about avoiding harm – it’s about intentionally creating therapy experiences where autistic kids feel safe, respected, and in control. Because trauma isn’t always a “big event.” It’s often subtle, ongoing, and woven into traditional compliance-based approaches.
On this episode, you'll learn:
- What the core principles of trauma-informed therapy are and how to apply them with autistic kids.
- How to build safety through sensory-friendly environments, predictable routines, and co-regulation.
- Why trust, transparency, and honoring autonomy are essential for real therapeutic progress. Practical, in-session examples of what trauma-informed therapy actually looks like.
- And more!
