I think back to the riddle I used to often hear as a kid. Sticks and stones can break my bones but words cannot hurt me. . I never really got it as a kid (and frankly, still don’t as an adult). As an immigrant to Canada, I felt the impact of how words can hurt - they would give me a sinking feeling in my stomach, or thoughts that made me feel awful...and no one could see these feelings I had, which added to feeling even more alone and fragmented from my sense of belonging.... Language and what we speak into the world have a significant impact and even more challenging, is we often are unawares of how our language or words might be impacting those we’re serving. And if we’re in a role that supports people to engage in relationship with their body, an up power, an authority on a certain subject, developing and refining trauma-informed language and care to foster ones sense of belonging is a choice. . Statements such as: ...this will feel good. ...this will help you feel grounded. When we are in position with power and we tell someone what their experience will be in a certain movement, or posture - consider how that impacts the power dynamic between you? How does that support an authentic relationship with their body? . What if it doesn’t feel good? . What if someone doesn’t experience feeling grounded? . What are the impacts when a person’s felt experience is not what they were told it would be? As you consider these questions, consider your choice to actively engage in developing your trauma-informed lens... Curious to train or learn more?
