Becoming Trauma Informed (Millstein JGIM 2020)
When I look at Victoria through a clearer lens, there are many clues—her anxiety, troubled marriage and family life, avoidance of physically intrusive examina- tions. I realize that I hardly know her at all. I focus on her health issues, and despite many stumbles, we have a nice rapport. I accept whatever she is willing to share about her tumultuous home life, but I do not ask how it all came to be so. Now I float with her in a reservoir of pain and shame.

Book Review by Eve Rittenberg, MD (Trauma-informed Healthcare Approaches)
What is trauma-informed care? Often using spe- cific examples juxtaposed with cogent summarizes of the research literature, Trauma-Informed Healthcare Approaches effectively communicates the broad prin- ciples and necessary components of the TIC approach at both an individual and systems level. I find Leigh Kimberg’s 4 Cs (Calm, Contain, Care and Cope) particular useful as a mnemonic for how how to apply trauma-informed principles to clinical care.

How trauma-informed care promotes healing: Patient Narrative
So pleased that KevinMD published this patient narrative. I was encouraged to share it here as well! https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2...romotes-healing.html By MEGAN R. GERBER, MD | CONDITIONS | JULY 26, 2019 As physicians, we face the formidable task of working with patients who appear angry, never content with care or “made better” by anything we do. They may be known as “difficult,” unpleasant, or demanding. These patients are the most challenging and often the least rewarding to care for.

Emergency departments look inward to deepen practices that support traumatized patients
An interdisciplinary team of clinicians from Brigham and Women’s Hospital had a bold idea in 2017. They would completely change the way things worked in their hospital’s emergency department so that the care provided to their patients was infused with a trauma-informed approach. That means recognizing how widespread trauma is and using a myriad of techniques to mitigate its harmful effects among patients, providers and staff. The realization of just how widespread trauma is came to light in...
