Today's Show
In our previous episode, "Sexual Abuse Trauma, Clinical Insights and Observations," we discussed the effects of sexual abuse, especially in settings permissive (and therefore complicit) to the trauma. Listeners have been asking for details about the therapeutic process when working with trauma. Today, we deliver.
It is important to lift the veil off of what happens in psychotherapy when working with sexual trauma. We discuss the techniques I use when working with adult survivors of childhood sexual trauma. We also generalize these techniques to incorporate age (childhood and adult), and physical abuse.
Audience and Disclaimer
The information provided is intended for therapists and clients alike. If you are a clinician who is interested in working with sexual trauma, this will be a robust introduction to the work. The material is also very useful to the general public who want to know about the in-session process.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that none of the listed methods are considered widely used, nor prescriptive - However, they are widely accepted. As a practitioner working with trauma for more than 25 years, these are the methods I continue to use myself. I also teach them to new counsellors, or those interested in expanding their approach to psychotherapy.
