This conversation between Dr Elizabeth Thompson and Dr Susanna Petche, the UK's leading expert in Psychological Trauma, explores the concept of trauma-informed medicine, emphasising the importance of recognising trauma's impact on both patients and healthcare providers.

Their conversation includes how:

• Trauma informed practice acknowledges the prevalence of trauma
• Healthcare providers often carry their own trauma
• Support and supervision are crucial for healthcare practitioners
• The healthcare system itself can be inherently traumatic
• Trauma can impact mental, physical and spiritual health
• Healing approach should be holistic and integrative
• The body has an innate ability to heal itself
• Understanding trauma can lead to better patient outcomes
• Integrative Medicine can help to reduce inflammation related to trauma
• Creating a trauma-informed healthcare system is crucial for change
