About this episode
This episode explores trauma informed care with clinical psychologist Brigette Berry, focusing on its core principles and benefits for all patients.
In this episode, I explore trauma informed care with expert clinical psychologist Brigette Berry who specialises in acute and chronic pain. We examine five core principles of Fallot and Harris (2009): safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration and empowerment. Trauma informed care benefits all patients, not just those who have disclosed trauma. For example, many women may have undisclosed trauma, children and neurodivergent people could all benefit from the application of these principles. Brigette recommends the Blue Knot Foundation for support and further training. Three other episodes of the Australian Anaesthesia podcast you might enjoy listening to are: Ep55.
