This session introduces part of a new strength-based and healing-oriented approach to trauma, developed by an Australian general practitioner psychotherapist. The Sense of Safety Theoretical Framework asks a new question: 'what can build your sense of safety?’ This approach defines whole person domains, sense of safety dynamics, and practitioner skills and attitudes that enable practitioners to attend to shifts in sense of safety in the consultation, across the healing journey, and in their own wellbeing. This internationally acclaimed approach is grounded in robust research, has been endorsed by First Nations academics, and been applied across the disciplines. You are invited to consider the implications for your practice or research and to dream of a healthcare system that recognises and responds to the imprint of trauma on people’s lives by building their sense of safety in the world.
