Trauma-Informed Therapy
PCCS Books (Verlag)
978-1-915220-41-7 (ISBN)
'Trauma-informed' has become a buzzword in the counselling and psychotherapy arena and the wider worlds of health and social care research and practice. But what does it mean in relation to practitioners' day-to-day work with clients? Susan Dale argues that all therapeutic work should put the client's needs, not the therapeutic model, at the heart of the process. Here she describes how she shapes her own collaborative narrative approach to work with people who have experienced trauma, whether from childhood abuse and neglect, violence, combat or other circumstances. Drawing on the literature and the first-hand accounts of trauma-experienced co-researchers, Dale weaves a narrative that demonstrates trauma-informed practice and its impact in the real-life therapy room. She includes approaches that are not formally badged as 'trauma therapies' as well as recognised models such as EMDR to demonstrate how such an approach, applied collaboratively and with acute sensitivity to the needs of the individual client, can make a lasting difference to people striving to rebuild lives that have been shattered by trauma.
Susan Dale lives and works in the Scottish Highlands. Following her training as a counsellor in the early 1990s, she undertook an MSc in counselling and then went on to study narrative therapy and life story research, culminating in a Doctorate in Education at Bristol University in 2009. Since then, alongside her therapeutic practice, she has undertaken many collaborative research and writing projects and published widely through journal articles and several books. These include Where Angels fear to Tread: An exploration of having conversations about suicide in a counselling context (2010); Songs at Twilight: A narrative exploration of living with a visual impairment and the effect this has on claims to identity (2011); The Secret Keepers: Narratives exploring the inter and transgenerational effects of childhood sexual abuse and violence (2013), and Threads of Hope: Counselling and emotional support services for communities in crisis (2016).
