A definition of trauma, (from our substack April 7, 2026): the advent of trauma care was off the backs of people who were experiencing marginalization, power-under circumstances of repeated abuse and subjugation. Whether it is person-to-person or from man made or natural disasters, trauma involves an experience of actual power-under as the impact is occurring. There is a sense of loss of agency from acute or prolonged lack of time, space, support, militaristic means, finances/sustainable means, understanding of context… while being position for immediate response to real impact, abuse and/or threats to vulnerability from something/someone with power-over status. Person-to-person this power dynamic is created by power usurpation with denial of basic humane responsibility that goes with that power accrual.

What is Intersectional Support (IxFS/IxFMH)?
It means we are Human Rights oriented.
What is Intersectional Support?
Simply put, Intersectional Support values all life on the planet current, past and present; and allows for nuanced understanding of trauma care needed to honor that balance.
Why is Intersectional Support vital to a trauma recovery process?
Intersectionality at its core is a highly effective framework for mapping and understanding trauma impact and also trauma recovery
What could this look like in practice?
Sometimes it may look like compassionate curiosity to parse abuse of power in a traumatic event/ongoing event to help the orienting part of the brain. We recognize humans are imperfect and we focus on healing and care in safe or relatively safer settings, if/as that is available and/or as that is safe to imagine, in order to help the nervous system to regain as much whole brain support as possible when reasoning through situations.

Global Trauma Care Updates:
We always want to meet life with care and gentleness. That’s why trauma care is so helpful. We hope to update in the next two weeks.
GLOBAL UPDATES
5/7/26
April 17th was Palestinian Prisoners Day, honored every year for those continuously held in Izraeli prisons with no justice. Palestinians are routinely cast as “criminals” and imprisoned for just living on their homeland, by the people who seek to occupy, ethnically cleanse, torture and genocide them. Bisan gives an update from Gaza, including ongoing call to release over 10,000 Palestinians held in Izraeli prisons during the annual Palestinian Prisoner’s Day gathering. The staggering majority of Palestinians are held without a charge or on inequitable and likely non credibly evidenced charges per an impartial 3rd party international observer, as is common in an apartheid. Even if they face a court, it is a military court with no jury of peers. Young children have lived most of their lives in there. As they acknowledged, it is the U$ that is the one that decides what happens to them.
We will be posting a link to UN report on IOF routine torture and S.A. of Palestinians. Activation note about the graphic contents. The people being harmed did not cause the situation. The accountability lies with the Izraeli’s who have inflicted the harm, created and enforced policies that legalize this kind of depravity, made excuses for or knowingly obfuscated the facts about the reality. The reports document systemic, methodic, and premeditated s*xual torture and abuse, even including training dogs to inflict s’xual abuse on Palestinian’s detained in their torture camps, adults and children, all genders. We demand an immediate end to this senseless and horrific brutality!
Palestinians continue to call for the end of this violence and find ways to honor life in the midst of this nightmare. There are beautiful reports of libraries and schools being put together painstakingly in the midst of all of this.
Lemkin Institute has extended the genocide designation to include South Lebanon which has sustained unrelenting and record rounds of attacks by Izrel. Izrel has committed crimes, obliterating critical infrastructure up to and beyond the Litany River, as is outlined in their Greater Izrael Project that encompasses Falastin (Palestine), Lebnin (Lebanon), Syria, Turkiye (Turkey), …growing list of parts of West Asia. Izrel has been attacking Iran in order to continue carnage and land theft for it’s expansionist project with the collaboration of the U$ and beholden gulf monarchies (GCC). The U$ has installed puppet and client governments and seeded and contracts terrorists from AQ and IS for decades throughout West Asia and Africa, even installing Jolani as head of Syria and running attacks on the government in Mali in the eastern part of North Africa as they try to run coups against Ibrahim Traore, deeply beloved leader in neighboring Burkina Faso.
Still the people reject this brutality and interjection of U$ wanton destruction and brutality across the region. Sudan through The DRC remain in steadfast solidarity. With people there locally rejecting western hegemonic (U$-Iz-UAE and their contracted terrorists) antagonism. News reports locally show a dedication to maintaining self determination and sovereignty, as mutual aid projects continue throughout the region!
The West Bank remains under illegal siege by Israel daily. Israeli’s recently conducted another illegal stolen land sale in a synagogue on the upper east side of new york city, U$. The land seizure is illegal and the sales to people of one ethnicity is illegal. This is similar to many other illegal land seizures and ethnically exclusive sales occurring throughout the US and other British Nepo Entities. Citizens who protest are being limited in their ability to approach the facilities being used as cover for these internationally and domestically illegal crimes. Who’s rights are being protected?
Farmers in The West Bank had been accompanied by global volunteers lending ‘protective presence’ to maintain their daily life and livelihood. Now the protective presence volunteers are documenting the conditions of constant vigilante terrorism of these Palestinian farmers and their families by Iz settlers. They recently attacked a school in The West Bank. Please see the documentary “No Other Land” and the work of independent Jewish journalist Nathaniel Jasper (infinite jaz).
The US has yet to be accountable for the double tap strike on an elementary girls school in Iran and other explicitly stated and carried out crimes against humanity in Iran. The U$ put the Strait of Hormuz under control of Iran through its deceitful war games and was the reason for critical global trade grinding to a dangerous halt in some places. The cost of oil rose globally, with the U$ president’s son showing millions of dollars of returns on insider trading and Americans paying more at the pump.
