About this Episode
This episode with Dr. Emma Clarke gets under the skin of trauma-informed practice.
We explore what it actually means to hold a trauma lens in every session from the first assessment to long-term therapeutic work and how CBT frameworks can be adapted without losing their evidence base.

What You'll learn
- How to build a reflective practice model for staff carrying vicarious trauma, and how to make the case to a school that says it cannot afford one.
- What actually shifts in the therapeutic alliance when a client sees someone who looks and speaks like them, and where unexamined assumptions quietly break the connection.
- How to work with intersectionality and difference when your own training barely touched it, and how to move past the fear of getting it wrong.
- Practical ways to demystify art psychotherapy for parents, carers and whole-school communities without breaching confidentiality.
- What a grounded, non-saviour approach to cross-cultural and decolonised practice looks like in real settings.
