The Essentials of Effective Trauma Treatment: How to Go Beyond Technique
Copyright :
When it comes to working with complex developmental trauma, it seems like therapists can’t get enough tools for their tool bag. And yet what determines effectiveness in this challenging arena of practice are crucial dimensions of the therapeutic relationship that go beyond any technical intervention. In this workshop, we’ll explore what trauma clients themselves say about the key elements in their own experience of healing. You’ll focus on:
- Recognizing the client’s natural change cycle and how to organize therapy around it
- Procedures for creating a secure, safe attachment, including a transparent and overt collaborative contract
- How to emphasize clients’ resources rather than becoming preoccupied with pathology
- How to assess the client’s resources and your own to create an effective treatment plan
