No matter the setting, healthcare, education, or any other field designed to assist with growth, repair, and improving quality of life, unnecessary interventions disrupt the natural growth and/or healing process, frequently leading to some form of damage or trauma.

Interventions that are truly necessary and appropriately matched to one’s unique challenges provide the amount and type of help needed for the individual to continuously remain attuned to their own needs and maintain their knowledge of and belief in self. This scenario allows one to naturally release the interventions when they are no longer required.

For those who are in a position to determine what interventions another person will receive, attunement to the unique individual is essential! Lack of attunement and the application of inappropriate interventions frequently create trauma while also blurring an individual’s ability to identify and understand their own needs.

With a higher goal of preventing trauma and prioritizing the empowerment of all individuals and allowing those who will be affected to continue to see their own value and actively engage in their own lifetime growth, any intervention must be determined by heavily considering the contributions, perspectives, and other unique characteristics that are learned by attuning with the one who will receive the interventions.

In a culture that prioritizes teaching individuals to listen to others while ignoring how they see and experience the world, many may initially struggle to have the level of introspection required to determine what is best for them. When one is challenged by the task of introspection, the most important intervention to take place first is to gently guide that person through discovering how to value their experiences enough to learn from them and develop the skill to self advocate and eventually self accommodate.

Meaningful support and interventions that having a lasting positive impact on both the body and mind of the affected individual are created by that person or one who is deeply attuned to that person being a part of the collaborative process in determining appropriate interventions.

Once interventions have been chosen, remain open and prepared to revise those decisions at any time. When growth is taking place, needs are frequently changing.

Interventions can be helpful or harmful. Maintaining awareness of the value and unique support needs of the person who may receive interventions is the best strategy for reducing harm and contributing to exponential growth!
