Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Trauma stewardship is a practice that involves tending to the hardship, pain, or trauma experienced by humans, other living beings, or our planet itself. It is not simply an idea, but a daily practice through which individuals, organizations, and societies tend to the hardship, pain, or trauma experienced by others. #2 The most important technique in trauma stewardship is to stay fully present in your experience, no matter how difficult. We must avoid binary thinking and instead pay attention to our experiences with curiosity. #3 We must maintain compassion for ourselves and others as we navigate our trauma exposure response. We must remember that we have the freedom to choose our path, and that we are responsible not only for ourselves but for others as well. #4 The more we can attend to this balance, the better our chances of achieving a sustainable practice of trauma stewardship. Between internalizing an ethic of martyrdom and ignoring ongoing crises, lies the balance that we must find in order to sustain our work.
