What does it mean to be trauma-informed in our communication? How do we communicate in ways that acknowledge where folks are (stressed out, frustrated, in crisis, angry) and then encourage them to take a step with us toward finding solutions. We'll talk about the invisible "noise" that's present in all of our communication efforts and then discuss approaches to overcoming that noise in ourselves and our clients.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand the relationship between communication "noise", personal experience, stress and trauma
  • Identify when you and/or a client might be outside of their Window of Tolerance
  • Learn techniques for re-engaging in successful communication
