Chapter 1:Summary of Trauma Stewardship"Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others" by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky explores the concept of trauma stewardship, which is the practice of caring for oneself while providing care for others who have experienced trauma. The book addresses the emotional and psychological toll that working with trauma survivors can have on caregivers, and it offers insights on how to manage these challenges effectively.Key themes include:1. Understanding Trauma: Lipsky discusses how trauma affects both victims and caregivers, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human experiences and the ripple effects of trauma in various communities.2. Impact on Caregivers: The book highlights the concept of "vicarious trauma," where caregivers can themselves become affected by the trauma they witness. Lipsky encourages readers to recognize the signs of this phenomenon and to take proactive measures to protect their well-being.3. Self-Care Strategies: Lipsky provides practical tools and strategies for caregivers to practice self-care. This includes setting boundaries, engaging in mindfulness, and ensuring a supportive community.4. Shifting Perspectives: The author urges caregivers to reframe their understanding of trauma and resilience, advocating for a focus on healing and growth rather than solely on the wounds of trauma.5. Collective Responsibility: Lipsky emphasizes that trauma stewardship is not just an individual endeavor but requires collective efforts to create supportive environments in workplaces and communities.Overall, "Trauma Stewardship" serves as a guide for individuals in caregiving roles, encouraging them to nurture their well-being while effectively supporting others through their trauma experiences. The book combines personal anecdotes, practical advice, and theoretical insights to foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of trauma and caregiving.Chapter 2:The Theme of Trauma Stewardship"Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others" by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky provides a framework for understanding and coping with the emotional and psychological impact of trauma, particularly for those in caregiving roles. Below are key plot points, character development, and thematic ideas in the book: Key Plot Points1. Definition of Trauma Stewardship: Lipsky introduces the concept of trauma stewardship, emphasizing that those who work with trauma-affected individuals must also pay attention to their own well-being. The book discusses the responsibilities caregivers have not only towards those they help but also towards themselves.2.

She explores how absorbing others' trauma can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and a sense of helplessness.3. Self-Care Strategies: The book offers practical self-care strategies for caregivers. Lipsky emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's emotional responses, setting boundaries, and engaging in restorative practices.4. Community and Connection: Lipsky highlights the value of community in healing. She discusses how building a support network and fostering connections with colleagues can mitigate feelings of isolation and overwhelm.5. The Role of Reflection: Throughout the narrative, Lipsky advocates for reflective practices, encouraging caregivers to examine their own experiences, emotions, and responses to trauma. This introspection is framed as a crucial element of effective trauma stewardship.

Content note:While we won't be discussing details about specific traumatic experiences, we will be mentioning examples of trauma and trauma responses. Because even high-level discussions like these can be activating for those who have experienced trauma, we want to invite listeners to pay attention to how you're feeling (emotionally and physically) as you listen. If you find yourself experiencing a strong reaction, we encourage you to pause to care for yourself, whether that includes recentering with deep and measured breathing or stepping away.Resources:* Marja's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marja-germans-gard-phd/* Marja's website: https://marjagermansgardphd.com/Listen: * A Trauma-Informed Future with Katie Kurtz (podcast)* Laura van Dernoot Lipsky on Future Tripping (podcast)Read: * Cultivating Resiliencies for All: The Necessity of Trauma Responsive Research Practices (article by Matt Bernius and Rachael Dietkus)* Practicing without a license (article by Tad Hirsch)* Design for Safety (book by Eva PenzeyMoog)* Trauma Informed Design resources website (a resource repository: https://www.tidresources.org/)* Trauma-Informed Design Research (Medium article by Jax Wechsler)* SAMHSA principles: https://www.cdc.gov/orr/infographics/6_principles_trauma_info.htmFollow: * Rachael Dietkus, Melissa Eggleston, Carol Scott, PhDJoin:* Trauma-Informed Design Discussion Group (request to join using this form) This is a public episode.

In this episode, the conversation centers around questions about when and whether to dismantle the fences and defences we may have built around our hearts. Justine begins the discussion with a focus on the vicarious trauma, but the weight of Arizona's highest courts ruling to reinstate a law from 1864 which will mean near total abortion ban in Arizona weighs heavily on Sarah's heart. The quotes this week are from the book "Trauma Stewardship" by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky and "My Heart" by Corinna Luykin. On the Resilient Birth podcast, Justine and Sarah explore the impact of trauma in the perinatal period. Through an inspirational quote that drives the weekly content, Justine and Sarah explore various trauma areas with vulnerability and compassion that support birthing people and birth professionals. Each week, listeners leave with takeaways to utilize in their lives and/or clients. Justine and Sarah hold the stories they share with honor and respect with the hope to impart knowledge, increase understanding, and bear witness to this challenging topic. Sarah is a licensed mental health counselor, educator, and mom of three. She walks with a story of trauma from before and as a result of her perinatal experience. Justine supports survivors of trauma through perinatal coaching and childbirth education. As well as being a mother of three, she holds a Ph.D. on representations of consent and sexual violence.

Happy New Year, wonderful listeners! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better episode to bring us into this new year together. I needed more than I knew! In today's episode we connect and learn from Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, who is the founder and director of The Trauma Stewardship Institute. Laura's book, Trauma Stewardship, is one that truly changed my professional career and in this episode she highlights why recognizing how we experience stress is so vital to all of us. She shares with us how damaging isolation is; reminding all of us to connect, not shy away from vulnerability, and bear witness to those around us. Laura is the author of Trauma Stewardship and The Age of Overwhelm. She is the host of the podcast Future Tripping, which is dedicated to conversations about overwhelm. Widely recognized as a pioneer in the field of trauma exposure, she has worked nationally and internationally for more than three decades. Laura is on the advisory board of ZGiRLS, an organization that supports young girls in sports.

Whether you're in a position of caregiving for loved ones or in an industry in which it's your job to do so, caring for others can take an invisible toll on one's health. It's made even more challenging by the lack or absence of societal systems to support caregivers.   Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, MSW, explains the effects of caregiving, including the corresponding struggles you may experience — such as trauma, decision fatigue, and overwhelm. She also shares ideas for how caregivers can care for themselves and support their well-being.    Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/caring-for-caregivers   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! Continuing the theme of tending to our own needs, today's topic is one that's important to therapy professionals and to first responders, too. To anyone who works with people who are suffering, Vicarious Trauma is important.   Host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C revisits a past episode in which she speaks about Secondary Traumatic Stress and Vicarious Trauma after attending a workshop on this topic by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky, the author of Trauma Stewardship. This week is Part 1 and next week, in part 2, we will hear from Laura van Dernoot Lipsky herself! Here's what you'll hear in this episode: The terms Vicarious Trauma and Secondary Traumatic Stress are interchangeable. Therapists bear witness to the traumatic stories of clients and are affected by them. The nature of therapy work requires empathy; it's honorable, brave, and important work intended to make the world a better place. There are small ways to lessen the impact of trauma, by mindfully checking in with yourself and using positive coping methods. As a therapist, how much are you “numbing?” We discuss examples. Laura recommends spending 12-60 minutes each day, for six days a week, working out to the degree of breaking a sweat. We owe it to the people we help to take care of our Vicarious Trauma, and regular exercise is one way to do that. Isolation is common in trauma work, because we feel like “nobody understands.” The American Counseling Association lists several signs of Vicarious Trauma, including: Having difficulty talking about feelings Feeling diminished joy Feeling trapped by work Limited range of emotions Exaggerated startle reflex Hopelessness Trouble sleeping Exhaustion Conflict with other staff Trouble with intimacy Feeling withdrawn and isolated Impatience, apathy A change in worldview What can you do to make a difference? Practice mindfulness Exercise (12-60 min. several days each week) Cultivate connection with yourself and others Enrich your life by doing things you love, apart from work Make meaning Resources: ACA Fact Sheet on Vicarious Trauma Trauma Stewardship by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky Trauma Stewardship Institute Laura van Dernoot Lipsky's newest book, The Age of Overwhelm Thank you to TherapyNotes for sponsoring this week's episode!

With so much suffering going on in the world that's worthy of our compassion and engagement, it's easy to become overwhelmed by it even as we have the desire to remain engaged. Secondary traumatic stress is the stress we are exposed to when we interact with other people's stress, and it manifests at both an individual and societal level. When not managed effectively, it wears us down and diminishes our ability to contribute in a positive way.On this episode of Being Well, Forrest talks with trauma expert Laura van Dernoot Lipsy about how we can better manage secondary traumatic stress, how to avoid burnout and overwhelm, and what it looks like to stay hopeful and live fully in the face of daunting societal challenges.About Our Guest: Laura van Dernoot Lipsky is the founder and director of The Trauma Stewardship Institute and author of Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others and The Age of Overwhelm. She is a widely recognized pioneer in the field of trauma exposure and has worked locally, nationally, and internationally for more than three decades.Watch the Episode: Prefer watching video?

Episode 5 This week on Oregon Grow, Mental Health Therapist Talia Akre (Multnomah Education Service District) talks about the compassion fatigue many educators experience. Talia explains the difference between compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout. Compassion fatigue is particularly labeled for the helping fields, which includes educators. Many educators of all kinds are dealing with student trauma and mental health issues. Current staffing shortages are additionally compounding the stressors educators are experiencing. Compassion fatigue can even affect an entire school community and can also exist in our personal lives when we're taking care of others. Talia and Jesse discuss the importance of taking care of ourselves first and letting students see we're whole people, for example, by taking breaks or having a classroom mindful minute.    Learn more about compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma and how to regain balance:  Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky and Connie Burk  Compassion Fatigue TEDx talk by Dr. Jacquelyn Ollison Master Teachers are Mindful Teachers by The Teaching Professor/Faculty Focus author Dr. Kristen Rousch The Mindful Self Compassion Workbook by Kristin Neff Ambiguous Loss by Pauline Boss

Some weeks will be geared more towards adults, and others towards adolescents and anyone who loves, lives, or works with them. Together, we'll focus on the merits of staying present, not missing out on today, and trying to avoid future tripping.

Trauma Stewardship is being fully present with others in their pain, trauma, and suffering without taking it on as our own. It is a long-term approach to tending to our own wholeness so we can be helpful to others in our full integrity. term founded by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, the founder and director of The Trauma Stewardship Institute.Primary Trauma: when you yourself survive something that fundamentally changes your worldview.

In celebration of our first birthday, we’re re-releasing one of our favorite episodes from the past year. We entered the field with fire and that trauma stewardship is about tending to the coals. In this episode, Lidia Michel, Psy.D. joins Dr. Graham Taylor in a discussion on trauma stewardship and how to care for those that care for others. Lidia speaks on the guideposts of stewardship: identifying your working role model, minimizing to make time for rest, hypervigilance and awareness of the speed of your work, and recognizing diminished creativity in your work, and ways to add self-care to your routine to be effective in our work. Self-care is critical and essential to the longevity, within our careers and for the services that we want to provide and for us to be effective in our work.   For more information about Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky and Connie Burk, visit: https://traumastewardship.com/inside-the-book/ For more information about The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown, visit: https://brenebrown.com/books-audio/ For more information on the Positive Psychology Center, visit: https://ppc.sas.upenn.edu/

In part 2 of our conversation, Dr. Graham Taylor continues the discussion with Dr. Jana Martin, CEO of The Trust, and Dr. Lidia Michel around vicarious trauma. In the last episode, we talked about vicarious trauma, its effects, and some of the warning signs that might harm our world view. In today's episode, we discuss preemptive self-care solutions and solutions you can use while in a session with a client. Additionally, we discuss vicarious resilience and the benefits to therapists gained through witnessing human resiliency.  For more information about The Trust and ways to engage yourself and empower your clients visit: https://www.trustinsurance.com/For more information about Trauma Stewardship by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky with Connie Burk visit: https://traumastewardship.com/inside-the-book/For more information about Real Happiness at Work by Sharon Salzbery visit:https://www.sharonsalzberg.com/real-happiness-at-work/

In part one of this discussion, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Dr. Jana Martin, CEO of The Trust, and Dr. Lidia Michel about vicarious trauma, its affects and some of the warning signs that it may be harming our world view. Part of a practitioner’s work requires them to listen, to and sit with their patients, and listen to their stories of significant challenge. But there is a cost to this for therapists, a cumulative and a lasting impact on the practitioner.We encourage practitioners to talk with colleagues and put this kind of trauma into context. Ask people “how have I changed since I started this work?”, ask “how does my anger show up now?” and invite these conversations around vicarious trauma so we can carry it in the healthiest way possible. We need to have special care for ourselves and to even see our own self-care as a form of honoring the work we do.For more information about The Trust and ways to engage yourself and empower your clients visit: https://www.trustinsurance.com/For more information about Trauma Stewardship by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky with Connie Burk visit: https://traumastewardship.com/inside-the-book/For more information about Real Happiness at Work by Sharon Salzbery visit:https://www.sharonsalzberg.com/real-happiness-at-work/

Episode three features best-selling author Laura van Dernoot Lipsky on how to support our students, families, and especially our teachers in the“Age of Overwhelm.”

Have you witnessed businesses that grow too-fast and are soon out of the market? Have you experienced challenges with growing your team to meet the opportunities presented to your organization? Lex Sisney is the author of Organizational Physics: The Science of Growing a Business. Business Insider noted, “As Co-Founder and CEO of Commission Junction, Lex grew the company from two employees to become the de facto leader in the world of affiliate marketing, beating Google in the process.” Lex spends his time now as a business coach for CEO's and leadership teams in expansion-stage companies who are, “Committed to growing their business without compromising their values.” Organizational Physics takes a scientific approach to outlining a universal and sustainable process for approaching growth in an organization. Lex says that, “Being the CEO of a fast growing company can be exhilarating one week and frustrating the next. I know because I've been there. That's why I created Organizational Physics, a proven method for building and managing high-growth companies that delivers breakthrough results.” We also discuss various approaches to public safety and keeping the economy running as every decision has consequences. Lex brings up the vicarious trauma, which we discussed briefly during a LinkedIn exchange as well as dealt with in greater depth in an article on the work of Laura van Dernoot Lipsky. Navigating the stress of this time as a leader and as a team will be key to thriving through crisis. Lex shares a secret to keeping himself motivated to follow through on his goal of writing for a certain period of time each day is that if he doesn't achieve this benchmark he has to make a financial donation to a politician that he despises. We don't get into politics, so he doesn't share who this is, but with as charged as the political discussions have been, you can imagine this would be highly motivational for anyone with strong feelings on the direction our country should be taking. It is important to remember that the fear of failure is more detrimental to a growth minded professional and an organization than failure itself. As Lex says, “Failure is feedback.” Be intentional with your people, process, production and progress (The 4 P's) and set your team up for success, even in tough times. On The DYOJO Podcast Episode 20, Rachel Stewart discusses lessons learned from the 2008 crisis that lead to opportunity as well as principles that they continue to apply in these modern times.

In this episode, I will be sharing with you what I have learned about being a “trauma steward” from the book Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Yourself While Caring for Others by Laura von Dernoot Lipsky  I will discuss with you the different responses that one exhibits when faced with trauma.  I will also remind you that, in this time, it is okay to show yourself grace when it comes to your long term goals and to take the time to focus on what matters most, your health and your family. 

I wanted to share this interview with you all, in this challenging time. It's an interview I conducted this past week with my dear friend Laura van Dernoot Lipsky of TraumaStewardship.com. She'a an expert in caring for people who care for people in trauma—like nurses and first-responders. I'd wanted to talk with her because I've been feeling so much concern for my friends and family in health care, and like all of us I've been disturbed by what we've been reading about the workers in health care in Italy, Seattle, NYC and beyond. I wanted her advice on how to support them. In talking to her, though, I came to realize that her methods for supporting caretakers is also excellent advice for how we all can support OURSELVES through this. I hope you find this as helpful as I did. And of course please share it with anyone whom you think might benefit from it. Stay safe, and look out for one another, Katie

Today's show looks at a different way working with survivors of sexual assault. In this episode, you'll hear how Clare uses trauma-sensitive yoga to support survivors of sexual assault. Clare Pritchard has been practising yoga since 1995.  She is a Certified Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) Facilitator, a Certifed Iyengar Yoga teacher, and has completed a number of certificates in yoga programs for children. In this episode, we talk about hows yoga help survivors of trauma and how it can be integrated with a range of other traditional therapies and medication. We discussed burn out and self-care when working in an industry and with individuals that have experienced trauma. Clare has been involved in working at Centres Against Sexual Assault since 2000. She began this association working as a Counsellor/Advocate at CASA House but her role in the field has now transformed into a role which provides support and healing to victim/survivors of trauma through yoga. Clare has delivered the yoga component of the Body Based Therapy Program at WestCASA (Centre Against Sexual Assault) since 2011, and at CASA House since 2017.  She has also delivered programs in the Northern and SouthEastern CASA's, and Counterpoint Young Women's Refuge. In a voluntary capacity, Clare has provided yoga classes within the Maribyrnong Detention Centre, the Asylum Centre Resource Centre and the YWCA Girl Storey program for marginalised young women Clare talks about how trauma-sensitive yoga is different from other styles of yoga.

    Major Points: a) yoga as a complement to western medical knowledge has benefits for burn out b) People may not know they have burn out as burn out just becomes part of your life c) Secondary traumatization occurs when you work with trauma victims. Yoga helps you maintain your compassion but decrease your empathy so that you do not become traumatized.   This is episode 114 of Changing the Face of Yoga and I have a very interesting guest today. This is Dr Shailla Vaidya. She is a physician, a yoga therapist, and a compassionate change agent, practicing mind body medicine in Toronto, Ontario in Canada. She completed her MD at Dalhousie medical school, a residency in family and emergency medicine at the University of Ottawa and a master's of public health in health management and policy at Harvard. She has had her own experience with physician burnout and she created the yoga of burnout, recovery stress resilience program, which combines yoga practice and philosophy with the science of human functions, self-compassion and stress resilience.                                                 Her current medical practice is focused on helping her fellow professionals and others with stress-related illnesses to regain their health and well-being. She's also certificant of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and teaches medically informed therapeutic yoga to yoga therapists internationally. Welcome. Shailla . I think this is an important topic. Is there anything else you'd like to add to that introduction? 02:16                                     No. I did change the name of the program to the yoga of stress resilience burnout recovery program only because burnout has so many things to prove that it's actually burnout you're fixing as opposed to stress. So it's actually the yoga stress resilience burn-out recovery program. 02:36                                     What exactly is burnout and let's as opposed to being stressed? 02:48                                     Burnout was first described by Dr Christina Matlock at the University of California Berkeley. And she described it as having three components. I think we all use burnout in a very colloquial way. But the three components are emotional exhaustion. So many of us had the experience of not being able to mentally handle yet another thing that we may not always recognize or acknowledge that state. So just being emotionally tired is one part of it.                                                  The other part of it involves depersonalization and that's a fancy word to say that we go numb. We're, we're not really human anymore. We're not feeling as we used to feel. And that usually occurs when we're overwhelmed with a lot of the feelings that we face, a lot of the people that we come in contact with who are suffering with pain and grief and so many other things. As we get exposed to that over time, we may lose our ability to feel empathy for people who had that because we've been exposed to it so much.                                                 And then the third thing is reduced personal accomplishment. And this is , the feeling that we're no longer active at our jobs. We start to view ourselves negatively in regards to our work and with the people we're working with. So we feel negative and we don't feel like we're accomplishing anything in our day. The World Health Organization also just recognize burnout as an actual thing. I don't know if it's a medical diagnosis, but they did give it an ICD 10 code. So a diagnosis and such, but mostly related to one's work. So that burnout is related to the jobs that we do. . And there are many, especially women, caregivers and other people who are caring for people in our community. 04:45                                     It's actually a very specific thing. I agree with you, that term gets bandied about a lot. But there are some ways that a person could say I'm having those kinds of issues. And if they do feel that maybe they are, what should they do? 05:07                                     Well, that's the big thing. We all say you need to take a break. You need self-care. That's a hard thing because we make that the job of the person who is experiencing the burnout and not everyone is really able to understand that or understand what they need to do to get out of this cycle of burnout. And essentially it happens when we've had chronic stress.                                                 The big thing would they really have to do is start to release stress. And as yoga therapists and yoga teachers, we know that stress builds up in our body. And completing that stress response and then releasing stress from the body is a real big component in helping recover from burnout. Because there's some neurologic things that are happening when we hold stress in our body, we're sending signals up through our brainstem through our limbic system particular around the Thalamus. And of course this is far more complicated than the breakdown I'm giving right now. But our brain stem or thalamus and our limbic system can actually shut down those signals. So we don't actually know we're experiencing the beginnings of burnout until we're exhausted and we can't do anything. So yes, take a break but also do the things that help reduce or release stress from our body as we give ourselves that care. And there's so many components within that but yoga happens to be a fantastic technique to help people with burnout. 06:41                                     Let's explore that a bit more. Why don't you explain your program? I think that might be the easiest way to do it because it will give us specific information. 06:55                                     I get referred a lot of people with stress related illnesses from their family doctors and so they've had chronic stress their whole life. And actually when I do their histories and do their assessments, I also do adverse childhood experience scores. So the majority of the people I see also had stressing as a child. And so their nervous systems developed under stress and that may make them more stress responsive as they leave that environment and go on to the rest of the world. And what's so interesting is a lot of people who had stress as kids who survived that tend to be professions where they want to help other people. I always joke with them that no, you want to help other people the way you weren't helped as a kid or give back in that way.                                                  It's very interesting. I can't generalize that to the whole population of burnout. I'm really only looking at the people that I see come through my door and so adverse childhood experiences is huge. The way I use yoga is yoga really helps us re-integrate the body. So we know that yoga is more than just the asanas that we practice. The Yoga Sutra says it's a process of slowing down, change the perceptions of our mind through this process. How do people come in who are just exhausted, their bodies can't take anymore. And then using a restorative approach and a bottom up approach to help release tension through the body and then work with breathing and meditation techniques so that they can, you know, exhale and start focusing their mind on other things.                                                  It's very effective when we bring them to those places of concentration, meditation and maybe, hopefully bliss. But learning how, first of all to have compassion for the self and take care of the self because so many of us put others before we put ourselves. So my program really helps people come back to that self-care component, taken care of themselves. Actually stopping and moving and releasing the stress and breathing and then learning how to have compassion for the self. Much like they have compassion for the other people in their lives. 09:21                                     I noticed on your website that you have several supportive resources. I think you have a drop in where people can just come and meditate once a week or so. Is that correct? 09:37                                     I usually run that in the summertime for people to help them keep up with their practice. During the spring, winter and fall I'm usually busy with working at the medical aspects of Yoga. But I had that drop in because a lot of people after they'd gone through my program can't find a yoga class that is like what I teach. There's tons of people out there teaching yoga. To find a good restorative class, that's just what they need, but might not always be available to people or they might not feel comfortable going to their local yoga studio for whatever reason. 10:22                                     That happens a lot, unfortunately. When you've got someone who you have diagnosed as having burnout, are they open to coming to your program or does it take them a little while to really accept that that's what they have? 10:43                                     That's a great question. I work with a lot of family doctors who have assessed their patients over time and some of my patients have had you know, back pain or migraines or other stress related illnesses and they've seen specialists and a lot of other people who can't give them the quick fix or the understanding. So when they come and see me they're usually recommended by somebody that they trust - their family doctor.                                                 Many of them have never tried yoga and so they are hesitant at first, but when they come and they meet me and they see the they see my set up, my room, my yoga room, and I explained to them the mind-body connection and why they may be feeling, what they're feeling. I get buy-in that way. I'll talk about anxiety and depression and sleep. I screen them for those things. I screen them for their disability score and as were going through the screens, I bring them to that. They start to realize, well, actually this is a problem for me and that is a problem for me and I'm not surprised that this is four on the clinical scale that I use. And then I actually tell them how yoga can work for that. When we release stress from our body, how that affects our physiology. So I'll teach them about their Vagus nerve, teach them about their heart rate, teach them about these other things and they get buy in because at that point they just want to see somebody who gets it.                                                 When I can explain it to them that way, I think it gives them a sense of agency that they understand what's happening. And then when they actually come to the class, which I think is the biggest thing. I really build that trust with them or I hope I do when they come to the class and they realize my God, I'm not alone. Like there's other people who are going through the same thing who have maybe have had similar jobs or jobs I can relate to or are caregivers to elderly parents or have children who are also autistic. Once they see that group and they start the program and they feel like they have the experience of what it feels in their body to practice, that's when I really get the buy in. 13:08                                     It's really a combination of information and building trust and build a relationship with them. Is that a fair thing to say? 13:20                                     Yeah, I would say. 13:22                                     We have a general idea of what you do, but you say you also teach medically informed therapeutic yoga to yoga therapist. Is this in the burnout area or just more generally than that? 13:40                                     I'm a part of the Svastha Yoga therapy training program. When I was going through my training there would be medical things that I would bring up and offer advice around that type of thing. So we're building our yoga therapy training Svastha training. I'm not certain if you're aware that's led by Doctor Ganesh Mohan and his family. 14:06                                     I've heard of the Mohans 14:07                                     So it’s through the Mohans. 14:10                                     Your training is basically through this particular yoga training opportunity that's available. 14:19                                     I've done talks for the Montreal International Symposium of Yoga Therapy and I've also done a few things, it's a little bit more informal, but with licensed health care providers. You call them allied health here in Canada who have yoga teacher training background and they want to have some therapeutic yoga skills with their patient population. So that's the type of stuff I also do as continuing education. In that format, I often just call it mindfulness. 14:57                                     When you're helping professionals, like medical professionals, like yourself or others, do you find them open to yoga or did they take a little convincing? 15:13                                     You know by the time they get through my door, they're open. I'm sure family doctors who mentioned this to their patients and they might not be open. A lot of the people I get also come word of mouth. So they had a friend who had gone through my program and who was a social worker and their burnout. And so by the time they get referred, they have buy in already. So I think I probably have a biased population, but we know the science of this stuff. and also I think what's really fascinating, but the time that were at, I do have a lot of support from my medical community. Many, many physicians who are specialists find it very interesting and will start to refer to me. So I get referrals from neurologists and psychiatrists, cardiologist that have been interested. I think more than anything is the support I get from my medical colleagues to do this work. It shows that they are interested and that there is buy in. 16:18                                     I think that's great. My typical listener is either a yoga teacher or yoga therapist; what advice would you give to them if they think they might be experiencing burnout? 16:41                                     I would just tell them that it's real. A lot of yoga teachers are doing trauma informed practice now and a lot of yoga therapists are.  Just to understand that there is such a thing as secondary trauma, vicarious traumatization, that we resonate emotionally with the people who we work with. And that's your neurons, our limbic system picking up on the emotions of others. And we are designed as people, as humans to do that so that we can feel another person.                                                  But what the science shows is we actually feel that other person's pain as if it's affecting us. We're experiencing it. People should know that. This is real; you are feeling that heaviness. The person you're working with, you're feeling their heaviness, you're feeling that pain. We have science to show that; brain scans have shown that. The most important thing is that we as yoga teachers and yoga therapists also have a tool that we can use and that is fostering, developing compassion within. We can start to use those meta techniques to breathe in compassion for ourselves, to name the pain that we're feeling. Then we can start to reduce our own empathic distress and our own empathic resonance. We're still resonating with them, but we're dealing with what we're feeling. And then as we start to generate that compassion within, compassion works on a different neural network than empathy, we can actually hold space or be able to be there for our clients, for the people with whom we're working. 18:18                                     Great point. That actually working with people with trauma can have an effect on the teacher or the therapist. Do you see a lot of trauma training and I haven't taken it so I can't say, but I hope that they're also looking at the wellbeing of the person giving the yoga. So we're almost at the end of the podcast. Shailla. Is there anything that you would like to talk about in more depth or something that we haven't covered at all? 18:53                                     I think those are the biggest things. I think that what I would like to do for the people who are out there is just to know that there are techniques to read about even, you know, the mindful self-compassion program or compassionate listening programs so that they can start to employ those techniques when they're working with those who have trauma.                                                  And to recognize that it might not appear the way they think it's going to appear in them or the others, Especially when you're working in a trauma informed practice to recognize that you may also be triggered by something and that's completely normal. As time goes on, you may start to get triggered simply by working with people who've had trauma. By hearing their stories, you may start to develop that secondary trauma pattern.                                                 And you may actually also develop what we call moral distress or moral injury. Moral distress is when you know what to do for someone, but you can't do it. And moral injury is when you feel like the system within which you're working is not able to support what you feel needs to be done in that time. That these are things that helping professionals deal with and that are real and that lead to burnout and beyond. Right. So I think my basic thing is that people should have an understanding of who they're helping and why they're helping, but also the fact that it can happen. 20:21                                     Do you have any resources? I mean, we've touched on it very briefly, but it sounds like an important thing for people to understand and be able to handle 20:32                                     I know the Center of Mindful Self-compassion San Diego, California has a website on some of these thing. A fabulous author, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky did a Ted talk on secondary trauma. Babbette Rothschild wrote a book Helping the helpers. So there's resources out there. I think that people can explore around this. 21:08                                     That's great because I didn't realize that. I mean it makes perfect sense what you say but helping these people who have trauma could be very, it's very satisfying. But it can have some other things that you need to be aware of. This has been a great podcast. I learned so much. So thank you Shailla. You've done a great job and you're an excellent speaker. I think you're doing a really great job, especially this amalgamation of western medicinel and Yoga because I think they do go well together. They complement each other, but it's sometimes it's hard to do that. I congratulate you and thank you so much for being on the podcast. 22:08                                     Thank you so much. This is actually my grandfather's dream. My last name Vaidya means Ayurvedic physician. So he always wanted his grandkids or his kids. He wanted his kids. But that didn't happen. He wanted his grandchildren to blend the two, to not lose this culture. So much is lost under colonization and my uncles were jailed and great uncles were jailed as they were trying to keep these, these things alive. For me, it's really an honor to be able to speak on this stuff and to be able to combine these two. So thank you for having me.

NOW ENROLLING! Check out my new pleasure course which is enrolling now through April 22, 2019 (we'll enroll again in June!). It's called Power in Pleasure: Reconnecting with Your Hunger, Desire, and Joy and runs for five weeks online. I'd love to see you there. On to your emails! Adam wrote back after hearing his email on the show with an emotional thank you. Beginning Gusher and Waterboarding Victim both wrote in with the same question from opposite perspectives. How can you prevent squirting? I share some thoughts and advice from other sex educators before weighing in with my thoughts. Essentially, our bodies are going to do what our bodies are going to do, and instead of stopping something natural from happening, a better question is what ELSE can someone do that feels pleasurable and connecting that might not lead to squirting if it must be avoided. Naive Nancy has a question about condoms. Her boyfriend claims that he can't wear condoms because he's circumcised. Is she being naive? Her friends think so, but they're also having all sorts of other kinds of sex that works for them. Is it a big deal? Maybe. Maybe not. Because male entitlement to pleasure is the gold standard right now, many dudes have internalized this sense of "I don't want to so I won't" when it comes to condoms. That said, all bodies are different, and one person's experience may be different than another's. Practicing with condoms during masturbation, trying differing amounts of lube on the inside of the condom, and eroticizing condoms can all help. But, bottom line, as long as he's respecting Nancy's boundaries, he can have whatever experience he has and it doesn't have to be about anything more. Nic wrote in about being someone who was emotionally and sexually abused. How can Nic find feminist community? Where can Nic find folks who AREN'T invested in misogyny and sexism? Let's talk about finding community and the ways we survive. Among the things discussed, I mention Laura van Dernoot Lipsky's books "Trauma Stewardship" and "The Age of Overwhelm", "Healing Sex" by Staci Haines, as well as "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk and Peter Levine's books.
