We talk about consistency a lot for our clients and we as providers have to model that as well. So having those consistent times scheduled is really vital.

Wow. Yeah. Definitely important. And thank you for highlighting that. Really explaining how it's really just important to be able to have that work together for the long term. Um, speaking of long term, um, so how does this trauma informed approach that you very beautifully and eloquently explained, um, affect the short term versus even how does it affect the long term?

The short term prognosis like progress of the client.
U1 17:02
Yeah, absolutely. Let's talk about

it. Okay. So immediate needs um, that can help when receiving therapeutic services is is one I mean having having a person who is connecting with you in a non-judgmental, safe manner that that really is the most important value and the biggest determiner of if someone is going to successfully complete services, they have to feel safe, have this connection. Right? So when we work with a child, I'll just give a child as an example who has experienced a traumatic event from an adult. An adult has caused harm to them that. 1s Flips their entire notion of the world, right? We're supposed to be born. And knowing that not only adults are safe, but our parents, they they are safe. They they keep me safe. When when a choice is made by an adult or a caregiver that harms that child, there's there's complete chaos and fear. And so the brain is like, oh, what? What just happened? This isn't this isn't what I'm supposed to be, you know, registering. And so when they come to seek services, it's so vital to have that connection and again, slowing it down to help rebuild their brain and like their neural pathways of adults, can be safe. I can have a healthy, appropriate in, um, connection with an adult so that safety is key. I can't stress safety enough really uh, long term is is again that the rewiring the brain. It's not as scary as that sounds. Uh, but we we that's really what, what therapy is, is it's really working to rewire the brain and help an individual make choices that are going to be more adaptive if they got stuck in this pattern of having choices that are harming themselves or others, we have to work to rebuild that and help them understand what other ways they can do. And again, that takes time. It's it's a long, relentless, continuous process. So long term effects of a trauma informed therapy is is exactly that for for an individual to have learned new skills, to have learned new behaviors, how to adapt in their environment, how to communicate, how to regulate themselves, and how to notice, like their own internal cues of something's going on. So I need to do something to calm myself when we see that we are just. It's the best news ever. Sure. I really love how you how you talk about that. It's a process and, you know, that's exactly what it is. But that trauma informed
