How to Help Your Client Reclaim a Sense of Aliveness After Trauma
Picture this: you’re working with a client who has a profoundly severe and distressing trauma history.
Through your many sessions together, they’ve made significant strides in their recovery . . .
. . . yet they still don’t feel fully alive or present in their life.
Maybe they’ve established a successful career, yet they feel like they’re on autopilot. Or perhaps they’ve started a loving, stable family, but they can’t seem to feel the warmth and joy that comes with it.
Or maybe, they only feel alive when they replay the trauma, pick fights, or engage in risky behavior.
While these behaviors might help some clients to feel something (even briefly), they’re also reactivating their trauma symptoms, and keeping their distress levels high.
So how can we as clinicians help patients shift out of being almost, but not quite alive in their lives, bodies, and relationships?
That’s the question we asked 11 leading experts in our field.
And in this short, focused course they dive into the strategies you can use to help your client move from mere survival to feeling alive again:
