In this episode, we shift our perspective on domestic and family violence by viewing it through a trauma-informed lens. This approach helps us better understand survivors' inconsistent stories and seemingly ...confusing behaviours as normal trauma responses rather than dishonesty. We delve into the neurological impacts of trauma, highlighting how it affects memory and behaviour. Furthermore, we discuss practical steps and principles—like safety, trust, and empowerment—for providing meaningful support to survivors.
Finally, we emphasise the power of language in creating a supportive environment, encouraging empathy over judgment.
