Unpack Gender, Trauma, and Healing
This digital primer explores the foundations of trauma, safety, and gendered experience through a culturally rooted lens. You’ll find clear definitions, reflective prompts, and real-world examples that unpack how safety is shaped by history, identity, and power. Designed as a companion to the Trauma, Safety & the Gendered Experience CEC course, this resource supports practitioners in developing a trauma-informed, intersectional approach to care, offering insights that strengthen both personal reflection and professional practice.
About Breelove.ca
This resource, like all offerings in our digital library, was co-created by the Breelove collective: a team of culturally rooted, trauma-informed practitioners, drawing from real moments in real healing spaces. At breelove.ca, we offer more than care, we create it in community. Our practice centers Black, Indigenous, racialized, queer, and other marginalized communities in the Maritimes, while holding space for all bodies throughout Turtle Island and Canada. Our approach combines clinical counselling with community wisdom: trauma-informed support, anti-oppressive frameworks, and real tools for emotional resilience. We offer 1:1 therapy, live support groups, self-paced healing courses, digital downloads like this one, and a free online community where you’re never expected to heal alone. Because we believe that we each deserve to be well, and to be witnessed as we get there.
Download this resource and reconnect with your capacity, your care, and your voice.
You deserve more than just surviving. Let this meet you where you are, and hold you while you grow.
