Red flags in healing spaces. 🚩
Too many practitioners stepping into trauma work without proper training or awareness to hold it safely.
You come in vulnerable, carrying trauma. Something releases. Big emotions. Your body shakes or you need to cry. And your practitioner panics. They refer you out because they can’t handle what they activated in your system.
That’s re-traumatizing.
What I see: practitioners working from ego. Pushing past boundaries. Weekend certifications with no understanding of how to support someone when things get intense.
If you work with trauma or ancestral patterns, you need to know how to hold that. Not refer it out. Actually hold it.
If you’re looking for training, ask:
“Can you show me how to support someone who’s crying, shaking, or releasing? Do you teach me how to hold space when their system activates? What if someone feels unsafe?”
If they can’t answer clearly, it’s not trauma-informed.
If you’re looking for a practitioner, ask:
“What happens if I need to cry or shake during our session? How do you hold space for that? Can you support me through a release, or will you refer me out?”
You deserve to know your practitioner can hold what they’re activating.
IRM is trauma-informed from day one. We teach safety, boundaries, titration. How to hold space when someone’s body releases what it’s carried for years. Grounding, pacing, containment. How to recognize overwhelm and support regulation.
Healing isn’t just accessing trauma. It’s creating safe space for the body to release it. That requires proper training.
Ask questions. Trust your instincts.
