Trauma Informed Approach

Trauma can create distinctive barriers to exercise. A person experiencing PTSD (or any kind of trauma) benefits greatly from a trauma-informed response and tailored support from their exercise instructor.

Having experienced PTSD myself, I understand how challenging things can be. There are many triggers, unique to each person. Approaches that do not consider trauma can actually trigger people and even re-traumatise them.

I chose to undertake a trauma-informed approach to exercise course recently with The Movement because it's really important that as a fitness professional, I understand how to make the environment safe and supportive for everyone. My own experiences have given me a unique insight into the sensitivities of PTSD, and I have also learnt so much from this training.

I have also spent 18 months working as a peer supporter voluntarily in the third sector, supporting people who have experienced significant and life-changing trauma.

In addition to this, I have supported women 1:1 for 4 years.

I bring together all of the elements of my lived and learned experience to ensure that you are supported in a fully trauma-informed way.

For people who are experiencing any kind of trauma, it's all-consuming. Being able to safely access exercise in a non-judgmental space is important for everyone.

To find out more about how we can work together from a fitness perspective if you are experiencing PTSD please get in touch trainertonia@gmail.com

You can also Whatsapp, call, text or leave me a voicemail, and I will reply to you in whatever format you prefer.
