Dr. Lee Cordell, CEO and Founder of the Institute for Trauma and Psychological Safety, joins Sarah this week to talk about what trauma is, what it isn't, and how it can show up in business.

With the topic of trauma on the rise in the online business space, with terms like "trauma-informed", "trauma-aware", and "trauma-sensitive" being thrown around in marketing at a growing rate, Sarah and Dr. Lee clarify the line between where it's legit, and where it's bullshit.

TRIGGER WARNING: Dr. Lee does mention sexual assault at one point in the interview at minute 25:18.

Topics include:

  • Defining trauma
  • What mutually beneficial decisions look like and how they can impact your business
  • How Target has created safety for its customers
  • Why privilege is such a contested topic
  • Tips on holding or seeking more trauma-informed spaces and how to find spaces that truly walk their talk
  • What safe spaces look like
  • Gatekeeping information and why that is dangerous
  • Why we weren't meant to do this alone
  • And a whole heap more!
