Trauma and the loss of belonging | Lucas Casanova | #056 Mastering Change

Trauma stewardship: how therapists can protect their wellbeing | Rosie Weir | #047 Mastering Change
Q: How do you practically cultivate presence in a high-stress clinical environment?
Develop daily and weekly practices like meditation, journaling, yin yoga, breathwork, and micro-presence routines (e.g., brief pauses during meetings or after interactions) to slowly expand the window of tolerance.
Trauma stewardship: how therapists can protect their wellbeing | Rosie Weir | #047 Mastering Change
Q: What lever could you push to effect change in how we handle fear and anxiety in healthcare and society?

Why healthcare needs trauma education | Susanna Petche | #049 Mastering Change
Q: What practical steps can medical systems take to start implementing trauma education and supervision?
Introduce trauma content into medical curricula, provide ongoing supervision (including group supervision), and use small, scalable interventions that can be adopted across different roles in healthcare to validate patients and support clinicians.
