What Trauma-Informed Therapy Really Looks Like
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.
In this episode, we’ll break down the core principles behind trauma-informed therapy – safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment – and show how small shifts in language, environment, and relationship-building can completely change a child’s ability to regulate and engage. You’ll see what these principles look like in real sessions and why they’re a non-negotiable foundation for meaningful progress.
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.
-
