Why sexual trauma so often goes unrecognized—even after years of therapy so that you can begin identifying unspoken trauma in your clients’ lives and histories.
What’s really happening when therapists freeze, dissociate, or go blank in the therapy room so that you can regulate your own nervous system and stay present for your clients.
How to respond when you feel emotionally impacted, triggered, or overwhelmed by clients’ trauma stories so that this work doesn’t burn you out—and your clients still get the care they need.
