This resource invites therapists and counselors to reframe challenging behaviors through a trauma-informed lens by shifting the question from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” It includes real-world examples and side-by-side comparisons that highlight the impact of curiosity, collaboration, and emotional safety in therapeutic practice. With guidance on how to build trust, validate experiences, and explore root causes, this tool supports clinicians in creating more compassionate, effective care for children and families.
