Trauma can feel daunting and feels fast-paced, high stakes, and full of decision-making moments that really matter. But here’s the truth:
Trauma is only scary when we don’t have a structured approach.
With the right framework, clear priorities, and practiced assessment skills, trauma becomes simple, systematic, and safe.
Whether it’s in primary care, urgent care, or pre-hospital settings, the foundations are the same:
🔹 Find the life threats
🔹 Fix what you can
🔹 Don’t get distracted by noise
🔹 Reassess, reassess, reassess
Over the next few sessions I’ll be breaking down trauma in a way that’s practical, confidence-building, and easy to apply from high-energy mechanisms to the subtle injuries that are easy to miss.
Is trauma scary?
Sometimes.
Does it have to be?
Not if you know what to look for.
