Ep. 109 Go From Survival Mode to Learning Mode with a Trauma-Informed Approach


Listen Later

Trauma-informed care isn’t just about avoiding harm – it’s about intentionally creating therapy experiences where autistic kids feel safe, respected, and in control. Because trauma isn’t always a “big event.” It’s often subtle, ongoing, and woven into traditional compliance-based approaches.

On this episode, you'll learn:

  • What the core principles of trauma-informed therapy are and how to apply them with autistic kids.
  • How to build safety through sensory-friendly environments, predictable routines, and co-regulation.
  • Why trust, transparency, and honoring autonomy are essential for real therapeutic progress. Practical, in-session examples of what trauma-informed therapy actually looks like.
  • And more!
  • Join the NeuroAffirm Academy to get the resources we mentioned today, including 1) The Trauma & Regulation Lens Packet, 2) our NeuroAffirm SAFE System & training and 3) the Trauma-Informed Reframe Cheat Sheet!
