In this episode we talk trauma-informed therapy with Simone, a neurodivergent speech pathologist who owns and operates a multi-disciplinary clinic in Port Macquarie, staffed almost entirely by neurodivergent clinicians.
Simone discusses the relativity of trauma for children, from a stubbed toe to a scary interaction, that can have varying impacts on children and others. Does a trauma informed approach results in raising a generation of victims? Or does it empower children to have agency, emotional literacy and safety?
We also discuss the benefit of a diagnosis, versus resistance that Simone sometimes sees from parents trying to avoid a formal diagnosis for their children, or who want to keep their diagnosis a secret.
