Traditional View Versus Trauma-Informed
Thoughts After Completing the Activity
While exploring the differences between the two views, I learned that the trauma-informed approach sees things differently and can be expressed positively. Trauma-informed is associated with making decisions and seeing with understanding. In the traditional view, most aspects are centered on the staff, unlike the trauma-informed view, where the perspective is centered on clients' needs. After completing the activity, I believe that a trauma-informed view is more beneficial for clients. This is because the service approach is designed to offer clients benefits based on their specific needs. The traditional view aims to offer benefits to workers. After the exercise, I think that the trauma-informed view is the most effective when handling patient issues.
How to Operate With Your Trauma Glasses Change View Of Clients
When operating with trauma glasses, the client becomes the main focus of the practice. This implies that all decisions will be made to benefit clients because they are viewed as the reason behind the practice's existence. When working with a client, all adopted methods are designed to focus on the patient's needs. While the traditional view seems authoritative, the trauma-informed approach is collaborative. A practitioner using a traditional view is expected to give orders and directing clients to do certain things. On the other, a trauma-informed view aims to closely collaborate with the client, developing incentives to ensure they attain their desired goals.
