Oh ____! What Do I Do Now? - Quiz

 

Abstract
Stage Two therapy consists of working through and processing trauma while maintaining stability in life and in the therapeutic relationship. The power of the trauma frequently destabilizes both the client and the therapist, leading to reenactments and experiences of being stuck. The emotional impact of traumatic memory work often overwhelms the client’s capacity to maintain connectedness or communicate effectively. Resolution is derailed by the horror of what happened; the complexities of developing mastery lost to the details of the trauma. The therapist is challenged to identify the trauma in a way that advances the therapy by exploring what is being expressed through the therapeutic relationship. The therapist is challenged to be sensitive to the dynamics within the client and within the transference. The therapist is challenged to communicate in ways and on levels where language often fails. The therapist is challenged to guide the client through new ways of thinking and perceiving while balancing neutrality and empathic engagement. The therapist is challenged to be self aware and to self-disclose in a therapeutically appropriate manner. This workshop will identify common Stage Two dilemmas for client and therapist, with examples and suggestions for dealing with those dilemmas in a constructive way.

This session was originally presented as a live webinar in November 2019.
