And so that taught me right there, Crecia, stop being so judgmental, stop making those assumptions and meet the client for where he or she is and listen, listen to the story, be sensitive to that client's experience and then start to treat the client where he or she is, from that encounter on.
How do you truly connect with others while taking care of yourself, especially when dealing with trauma? In this episode of 'Essential Conversations', Doug Burgess and Kreasha Williams from University Health Behavioral Health tackle this very question.

The duo highlights the importance of challenging our own assumptions and judgments, encouraging us to see behaviors through a new lens.
It's not just about treating others with compassion; it's about being kind to ourselves too. Doug and Kreasha emphasize tools to combat burnout and compassion fatigue, making self-care a priority. They also talk about gratitude practices and the continuous journey of learning, stressing that trauma-informed care is an ongoing process, not a one-time achievement.
