TRAUMA
If you want to learn more about trauma, we strongly recommend this online course to RVTS south. RVTS stands for regional resource center on violence, traumatic stress and suicide prevention.
Their digital basic course is a basic course in trauma understanding and trauma-aware care. On this course, you will get an introduction to basic trauma understanding, with an extra focus on developmental trauma and trauma-aware care.
"In a room filled with warmth you can feel completely at home among mere strangers"
Elisabeth Rygge, psychomotor physiotherapist and trauma therapist.
Have you experienced being interrupted by the doctor? International studies reveal that the doctor interrupts the patient already after 18-22 seconds. Studies show that patients who are allowed to speak without interruption during the introduction only speak for 92 seconds on average.
When we give space, it means that we are physically, mentally and emotionally present. That we focus on a person to support him or her to feel and let the feelings be expressed without being judged or crucified.
The person who gives space to another helps to give space and to keep a good and safe energy in the room, to be curious and open, so that the other can allow himself to be vulnerable without risking being judged.
If you choose to make yourself fully available to another person, it requires you to be able to put your own ego completely aside. It actually doesn't take much to calm another human being. Then transformation happens!
