SUMMARY - Trauma-Informed Crisis Response

A woman in crisis is restrained by emergency responders, held down while struggling, and something in her body remembers another time she was held down, another person who would not let her go, and the crisis intervention becomes indistinguishable from the assault that created the trauma now being triggered. A person who was abused as a child enters a crisis setting where authority figures tell them what to do, where compliance is expected, where their autonomy is overridden for their own good - the dynamics of the helping relationship echoing dynamics they learned to fear.
