Could the trauma-informed movement get misused to excuse abusers? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have spent years arguing for trauma-informed, anti-pathology approaches to human distress. But there is a danger emerging that I think we need to talk about - and I discuss it in this clip. Being trauma-informed must never mean explaining away abuse, violence, cruelty or exploitation because the person causing harm has experienced trauma themselves.Understanding someone’s history is important. Context matters - of course it does. Trauma can influence how people understand relationships, safety
The French Government Launches A Suicide and Workplace Abuse Investigation (opens the original)
Read excerpt

I’ve never understood the desire to create a secret identity purely to watch another person’s life unfold without them knowing. Yet, somehow, this behaviour has slowly become so ordinary that we barely question it anymore. We even have a
