It is all too easy for helping professionals to forget to take care of ourselves. There is always more to do. 

Taking care of ourselves is not optional, it’s essential when working with people who’ve experienced trauma. 

We need the deeper work of soul care.

Holistic Trauma-Informed Soul Care

is a practice of tending to one’s whole self that is grounded in our core identity in order to be resilient, thrive, and love others as we love ourselves.

It involves knowing who we are,

how we are impacted by secondary trauma,

and journeying towards recovery and healing. 

Training

I have worked in DV advocacy, ministry, jail chaplaincy, and a variety of social work jobs before burning out and realizing my own need for soul care.

“Careful attention to one’s inner life is an indispensable prerequisite of caring for the souls of others.”
