When restorative justice co-facilitators clash over trauma response approaches

My co-facilitator and I have completely different approaches to holding space when people share trauma in our restorative justice circles and last week someone left in the middle and we both think it's because of how the other person handled it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different facilitation philosophies are creating inconsistency that may be re-traumatizing participants.
