Introducing Trauma Stewardship

An introductory video — to make you smile.

I didn’t realize how much my work has affected me until I read Trauma Stewardship and heard Laura speak. I frequently struggled with the question of how to make my work sustainable, and was approaching it as if I were on an inevitable course of working until I completely burned out and then finding a second career.

Engaging with trauma stewardship has made me much more conscious and in tune with how I am impacted by what I do, and also reminded me that I do have the power and wisdom to make positive changes. Although there is no quick fix, I find myself starting to think more critically and make changes that give me a sense of agency in how I do my work while still fully living my life.
