Stance of Curiosity
How do we know if we are helping or making things harder?
Joelle & Gillian discuss the tension between offering support and skills to help people build stress tolerance for growth promoting opportunities and validating and supporting those who are experiencing anxiety and trauma response. Essentially how do we balance nurturing someone who is suffering, with offering them an empowering and consented-to push? Specific approaches of worry time and trigger warnings are discussed as far as classroom strategies where this balance can be struck.
