Boundaries – traumatised people may have challenges with saying no and not even realise how they put themselves at risk, so it may help if they learn to discriminate, judge and regain the sense of their agency, map out their circle of safety; talking about self-care might be a good starting point to setting boundaries (“What do YOU need?”)
This #IWD2022 month, we are discussing stabilisation – a process of supporting traumatised people into safety. We use stabilisation as the first stage of support for victims of domestic abuse, sexual abuse, refugees, war veterans and people who have PTSD.
