You may never know what someone has experienced. But when emotions come ‘from nowhere’ and the person seems overwhelmed in sadness, grief, fear, terror, overwhelm, shock or they are frozen and stuck- be kind to them. Our bodies store memories way deeper.We need to learn as humans

Loved training day 4 of the 6 day course I’m running for the South Glos Violent reduction unit and sexual exploitation team. Love police and social care teams coming together to wrestle with reflections on trauma. It’s so lovely being in person and not online! Great coffee too!❤️

What a powerful and profound webinar today with the beautiful @_LisaCherry and @dr_treisman discussing sensitive, painful and deeply profound human experiences. I love these women and they led so well and navigated the difficult waters with such grace… ❤️❤️🌺🌺 Thank you x

It’s important when we look at defensive mechanisms and trauma symptoms to always remember how much courage it took for people to survive the trauma. Let’s never pity people but always authentically show respect for them for surviving difficult and terrifying ordeals.

Well guess who I met in Glasgow airport after I had been training a lovely organisation about trauma recovery and I believe that @DrGaborMate had been training at a large conference there too! ❤️❤️🙌

I love seeing other people read my latest of the 7 simple guides! This is my fav one (closely followed by shame and dissociation!) 👩‍💻❤️🌺

I love to see my books being read! This is Teaching The Child on the Trauma Continuum! Published in 2015! It’s still used on many courses as a course book! 👩‍💻❤️

Trauma recovery can honestly change the whole world… if only people knew it was possible. It changes mindsets, systems,identities, strategies and financial plans. But so many people don’t even know it’s possible…

I’ve been on holiday for 7 whole days without any children for the first time in 26 years! I needed more books to read- I’m so used to taking unread ones home! Me and Mr deT enjoying peace, calm and quiet. Very excited to see 3 out of 4 of our sons tomorrow! ❤️📚🏝️

Listening to @AshcroftBen who is amazing! What a story he has. My goodness he has been let down by our society so very badly. I wish he had had the ability to belong to some community projects where he was around positive role models. He’s done so well! ✔️🥂🎉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

1/2. I released this at the @Trauma_recovery conference last week. We need a trauma route that is like oncology with different roles working together. Everyone should be a first aider. Paramedics have done life saving training & are needed everywhere to help in crisis….

What a fun day! I loved running this event for @Trauma_recovery and speaking alongside the brilliant @_LisaCherry and @semhheadox who were both inspirational and had such great painted nails! 🤣🌺❤️

This unprocessed trauma reaction can be really deeply distressing and can even make people avoid others to avoid the possible automatic reactions. That can then lead to isolation and loneliness, which then exacerbates the feelings of fear. Trauma recovery is a process! Xx

This is still my favourite book that I’ve written. I know it changes lives and helps unlock people who otherwise would think they or their child will have a diagnosis for ever. Someone here on Twitter this week said they have this book in their handbag for regular checking!

A two day trip to the beach with son no4 and hubby. Incredible surfing weather and I may have just bodyboarders with huge speed! I felt like a teenager! So beautiful! I’m very grateful x 🏄‍♂️🌊

There can be so much awful direction to tell each other what traumatic experience you’ve had. This is not sensible! I wish things were more simple but they are not. #traumarecovery #reauma #traumainformed #recovery

What an incredible,caring &hard working Queen she was.Grief touches lives deeply &even when most people may not have known the Queen personally or specifically had their lives touched by her,the loss of someone we admire can trigger other grief to be felt again. Let’s be kind x

We need to see change. Too many vital school staff are needing food banks or other help because they are paid too little.That’s outrageous.Their work is highly skilled& incredibly valuable. We need to see them valued not just with our thanks but with a salary that works!

It’s so vital we grasp dissociation &the continuum of different behaviours.We need to recognise it so we can bring help&support to enable recovery.When people use dissociation in childhood to survive,it can then be used automatically in adulthood when any threat is sensed.

We’ve had 5 days in N. Wales and loved every moment, including the one full day of rain. Amazing how being away feels like a reset that was so needed. My brain is less full and I’m feeling more ready for a packed diary this next academic year! #holidays
