Host Dr. Lisa Beasley talks with Dr. Marissa Gray, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, nurse educator, and clinical assistant professor at the University of Memphis, about what trauma-informed care means in everyday practice. Dr. Gray explains how to build safety, trust, and choice into routine patient encounters, how healthcare can unintentionally re-traumatize patients, and why an ACE score is information, not an identity. The conversation also looks at trauma-informed organizations and policies, supporting nurses facing compassion fatigue and moral distress, and how nursing programs can teach with high standards but without humiliation or fear.
