Course Description
This practical webinar addresses the therapeutic relationship with challenging trauma clients. Drawing on attachment theory and research, and using a relational, integrative approach, Dr. Muller follows the ups and downs of the therapy relationship in trauma work. He points to choices therapists make in navigating the process, examining how they affect outcome.
Specifically, he looks at relational patterns in trauma work, and how these lead to troubling therapist-client enactments. When left unchecked, such patterns lead to ruptures in the therapeutic relationship. The workshop looks in detail on how to navigate the relationship in trauma work, and how to repair a ruptured alliance.
Theory is complemented by case examples and therapy segments, which are drawn from Dr. Muller's most recent book, Trauma and the Struggle to Open Up, winner of the 2019 ISSTD award for the year’s best written work on trauma.
