Epione Blogcast
A blogcast to support the Epione SeeMeHearMe series dedicated to creating a safe space to amplify authentic voices of lived experience and share stories of healing & recovery. It may even create a platform to explore, challenge & guide trauma-informed practice and leadership.The remarkable stories shared have been written by various people who have overcome, are in the process of recovering from, or have learned to cope with various traumatic experiences. There is no right or wrong or one size fits all. As the journey of coping with trauma can often be a daily challenge, it’s fair to say that for some of our blogcasts, the process of recovery is still very much ongoing. Epione would like to thank our amazing and incredibly generous contributors for taking the time and having the courage to share with us ‘what works’ for them and confident that learning will occur for the listeners. As we know the change process is highly individualised and often a messy one. We simply ask you to listen and give our bloggers the sense of being SEEN and HEARD that each and every single one of them genuinely deserves. If you’d like to share how you’ve overcome trauma and how you’ve been recovering, please get in touch with us at enquiries@epione-training.com - we look forward to hearing and seeing you. Finally, we believe this quote from Porporino (2008) epitomises our hopes and vision. The trauma-informed "paradigm suggests that we might be better off if we allowed the people we serve to guide us, listen to what they think might best fit, rather than continue to insist that our solutions are their salvation"
