We are unpacking a big topic today. We’re exploring developmental trauma broadly and child poverty trauma specifically, and the impact it has on leaders. Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Nikki Yardy joined me to create more awareness around this topic and how you can explore this topic as an individual and support others as a leader. In this episode Nikki and I: ·         Discuss manners, etiquette, and class levels in society ·         Explore the concept of poverty trauma and its impacts on identity and self-worth ·         Define developmental and complex trauma and its influence on Imposter syndrome in the workplace ·         Underscore power of EMDR and its impact on trauma recovery You may find this episode speaks directly to your own experience but even if you don’t relate to growing up poor or having experienced any childhood trauma, chances are someone on your team has. And while other peoples’ experiences and their journeys are their own, having more information on this topic could give you insights on how to be a better leader to them.
