Today I saw two posts on Facebook by Special Education Teachers complaining about being "beaten up" by students. I automatically applied my Trauma Informed Lens and shared with them that "Hurt Students Hurt Others" . Especially students who have been diagnosed with "disabilities". Everyone wants to belong.
Often the most disabled children have experienced the most trauma.
Teachers who are in the mode of being "abused by students" may have also experienced Trauma and may benefit from taking the ACES survey or talking with a Trauma Informed Therapist. Many people in education have experienced Trauma and coming to this work can be very healing. Having the appropriate support and self care strategies is essential.
Check out the events on my web page for more opportunities to discuss the impact Trauma has on you and the students you work with or to set up a private individual or group coaching session.
Healing happens when you become more self aware.https://www.jessiegrahamcoach.com/event-calendar/…
