Attachment • The infants neural pathways are informed by their
relationship with their primary caregiver • Infant use the primary care giver to regulate inner
states and that is reflected in brain structures • The neural pathways of attachment become the
hiking paths and roads of how we perceive reality, feel and respond – which ultimately becomes our personality and reality.
Why address attachment? • Explains why our brain makes the neural
connections it does (i.e. creates the paths it does) • Which explains why I do the things I do/think the
things I do/respond the way I do/feel the way I do • And explains why the client might do the things
we do/think the things they do/respond the way they do/feel the way they do

Trauma stewardship calls us to engage oppression and trauma by caring for, tending to, and responsibly guiding beings who are struggling – including ourselves. It is not just an idea, but can be defined as a daily practice.
-- paraphrased and stolen from Laura van Dernoot

Take Aways in Trauma Stewardship
• acknowledging that vicarious trauma is real
• being present in the trauma
• prioritizing self-care
• recognizing the difference between self-care and “checking out”
• creating systems and organizations that promote self-care and trauma stewardship
