Becoming Trauma Informed Reflection - March 7, 2024 by Brian Bluhm

That person doesn't respect my time

2024-03-07 17:21:09 UTC

2024-03-07 17:21:12 UTC

They are inconsiderate.

2024-03-07 17:21:29 UTC

They are lazy & un-organized.

They are operating in an environment that has too many time obligations

2024-03-07 17:21:39 UTC

my time isn't valuable or they don't care

2024-03-07 17:21:42 UTC

They are too emotional

2024-03-07 17:21:52 UTC

Is this a habit for them

2024-03-07 17:21:55 UTC

What do we need to take off your plate?

2024-03-07 17:21:58 UTC

they don't respect me

2024-03-07 17:22:08 UTC

2024-03-07 17:22:09 UTC

They're disrespectful of my time, and thus they don't value others and are selfish

They have a lot of going in their life

2024-03-07 17:22:13 UTC

It isn't a good time of day for their body

2024-03-07 17:22:13 UTC

2024-03-07 17:22:28 UTC

Think about why they might not be on-time. Consider other reasons.

2024-03-07 17:22:30 UTC

Their behavior is a choice versus communication

They have a lot on their plate right now

2024-03-07 17:22:35 UTC

2024-03-07 17:23:00 UTC

They may have bigger things that take priority over this appointment - dealing with a wide variety of things I don't know about

Not to take it personally

2024-03-07 17:23:01 UTC

How can I help?

2024-03-07 17:23:06 UTC

2024-03-07 17:23:08 UTC

They are having a hard day today

2024-03-07 17:23:15 UTC

Ask- how or when they would like to meet that works better for them. Consider how busy their schedule might be.

2024-03-07 17:23:26 UTC

They are doing the best they can with what they have and I don't know all the details of what they are experiencing or going through

asking them what is the best time for them to meet and where is most convenient for them

2024-03-07 17:23:28 UTC

2024-03-07 17:23:33 UTC

Follow up to check in, in a non-judgement way. This is tricky in a clinical setting when you're supposed to bill for a missed appointment!

Have a practice in place that gives grace time for people who are late and make it easy to re-schedule.

2024-03-07 17:23:35 UTC

2024-03-07 17:23:48 UTC

Do a recap for them when they do arrive

Remind them ahead next time or ask when is a better time for them

2024-03-07 17:24:03 UTC

Welcome them, ask how they are doing

2024-03-07 17:24:17 UTC

health equity, prioritizing populations exp. higher aces

The Ted Talk video was great, but I think I could have used more time for us to process it as a group.
