How to Identify and Address the Survival Responses That Perpetuate Suffering and Block Therapy
Develop a more targeted and nuanced approach to treating trauma
There’s been a breakthrough in the way we treat trauma.
For years, clients have presented with defensive adaptations to trauma that don’t fit within the fight-flight-freeze model you learned in grad school.
And without the tools to identify and address these (often subtle) adaptations, many clients were left stuck, stagnant, and suffering.
But recently, the top minds in our field have developed strategies to help us take a more targeted and nuanced approach with these “emerging” trauma responses . . .
. . . and become more effective in our ability to help clients overcome unresolved trauma.
That’s why we asked a few of those top minds to share how they identify and work with trauma responses that fall outside the fight-flight-freeze model.
