Trauma-informed care fundamentally shifts the approach to hormones — recognizing that most hormones has trauma roots that require specific attention.
What Trauma-Informed Care Means for Hormones
Trauma-informed care for hormones is organized around core principles:
- Safety: Creating physical and emotional safety before exploring hormones
- Trustworthiness: Consistent, predictable care relationships
- Choice: Supporting client control over hormones treatment decisions
- Collaboration: Partnership rather than hierarchy in hormones treatment
- Empowerment: Building strengths alongside addressing hormones
