This approach is what sets apart fleeting relief from enduring healing. 🌿 If you’re interested in exploring this profound approach further, our upcoming Root Healing Trauma Release Workshop is the perfect next step. https://lnkd.in/eG7XbVnw

Thank you Lauren Thomas for advocating so strongly and passionately for participation. I loved the emphasis on children and younger people's rights, the critique of deficit discourses that position children and younger people as less than and the insight that participation is fostered and takes place within relationships. Even better if the paper could address the contradiction inherent in 'trauma' discursive practice, that is, the way that trauma discourse, aided and abetted by neuroscience, also positions children and younger people as 'less than' with 'harmed-damaged' brains. To address this contradiction would seem to require extending the critique of deficit discourses so compellingly prosecuted in the essay, to expose the underlying principle that, as Bourdieu points out, dominant cultural power relations shape dominant discourses in social work and human services, and all other fields - including the dominant discourse of 'therapeutic' practice. The fact that 'therapeutic practice' is the dominant discourse in human services should therefore give us cause for skeptical pause based on critical reflexivity. This could then precipitate a reflection on the way that as practitioners we, despite every convincing 'unthought thought' to the contrary, are not magically self-created, but, objectively, constructed by those same power relations - as is the dynamics of the field of human services that we work within. Power relations whose underlying dynamic is to produce and reproduce the set of existing power relations, including the oppressive power relations between older and younger people. This in turn suggests that if we wish to truly foster participation we need to first place ourselves and our own ways of thinking, being, acting and judging, our own discursive practices, including developmental theory and trauma theory, under a critical microscope that seeks to expose how cultural power relations have shaped our thinking, theorising and practice, and how that objectively perpetrates dominant power relations, and in so doing, presents non-conscious obstacles to participation. This is not just a depressing indulgence because this kind of reflexive practice simultaneously exposes the full set of knowledge construction and implementation practices objectively necessary to foster participation - discursive practices that do not position younger people who have experienced abuse as having undeveloped or damaged brains. Thank you for continuing to raise the critical issue of participation.
