Integrated Trauma and Healing Framework

This framework describes trauma and healing in these ways: trauma is the harmful interruption of safety, agency, dignity and/or belonging, which are fundamental needs of all human beings. Trauma is embodied in 5 levels: individual, collective, systemic, intergenerational and/or historical; trauma is experienced in the body-brain, overwhelming our ability to cope with and integrate thoughts, sensations, and emotions connected to an experience; and pathways to healing occur anytime we do anything that restores and/or promotes safety, agency, dignity and belonging and moves bodies towards integration and wholeness.
