TraumaSense

TraumaSense is an innovative, trauma-responsive, psychoeducational programme designed to empower individuals by providing an accessible understanding of trauma.

 

General trauma services tend to be focused on psychotherapeutic interventions and while these approaches are valuable, they often fall short of addressing the physiological nature of trauma. Many individuals who have experienced chronic trauma feel disconnected from their bodies, unaware of how trauma manifests as physical sensations, stress responses, and trauma-responsive behaviours. TraumaSense fills this gap by offering a structured programme that demystifies trauma in a non-therapeutic setting.

 

The facilitated 1:1 programme has a strong focus on building psychological awareness, emotional regulation, and personal agency. It is designed to help participants move from reactive survival states towards more intentional, grounded decision-making. By supporting individuals to process the impact of trauma in a non-clinical but psychologically informed way, the programme creates the conditions for healthier relationships, more consistent parenting, and a reduced risk of intergenerational trauma. TraumaSense is not a therapeutic intervention, but it is an important foundation that enables participants to recognise their capacity for change and take ownership of their role as parents, partners, and community members

​

This programme is available to any parents engaged with children's services who have traumatic experiences that impact their ability to parent effectively. It is particularly suitable for those mandated to attend as part of a court process and individuals who may not be ready for therapy or feel apprehensive about disclosing their experiences.
