The author, Shawn Ginwright argues that Healing Center Engagement is better than trauma-informed care because it focuses on how you faced your trauma and treating you like a whole person instead of labeling them as the victim. The Healing Center Engagement gives us a new perspective on trauma by highlighting the positives of the specific person to strengthens them and give them prosperity. It tries to help them move on from their trauma, discuss about what we can learn from it, and acknowledges that they are more than just their trauma. The trauma-informed care instead views them as a product of their trauma and treats the specific symptoms rather than the person by minimizing their habits. It leans more towards how the trauma will impact their lives instead of resolving the trauma. The new method also gives us more options in trauma healing from a cultural aspect. Discrimination happens frequently in the world from race, beliefs, sexuality, gender, socioeconomic standing, etc. From your cultural background you may have different healing principles or mindsets to other people so having new strategies will benefit more people into mending their trauma.
Comments: People being generalized makes them feel dehumanized and like their personal traumatic experience was insignificant as a whole. They are labeled as the victim and put under the same category as everyone else against their own will. These people’s cases are not being seen as their own individual stories, rather as a consequence of actions that were not under their control in the first place.
