In this personal narrative, Trish shares her personal experience as a child going through multiple upheavals, including abuse, foster care, and group homes. Amidst this trauma, a pivotal moment occurred when an educator provided a sense of "felt safety," a term coined in trauma-informed care. This concept, rooted in the understanding of psychological and emotional safety, is crucial for children's ability to regulate their emotions and learn effectively. The speaker emphasizes the importance of trust, consistency, and emotional support in creating this environment, ultimately highlighting the transformative power of felt safety in education and how educators can provide this essential support for trauma-affected students. Listeners are encouraged about the importance of connecting with God and seeking peace through faith. This testimony serves as a call to action for Christian educators to be intentional in fostering a safe and supportive environment, mirroring the unconditional love and care they believe God offers.
