As a current addiction counselor and student working on my Masters in the field I found this video to be very helpful and informative when trying to better understand addressing trauma in my practice and explain in in my studies. Thank you.
I can't like this enough! I'm a masters-level intern in the final semester of my mental health counseling program, and this is what I've been needing for MONTHS. I've learned how to identify PTSD but not at all how to treat it, save for being told "CBT is an evidence based treatment". Like, my client can't sit straight in a chair! How am I supposed to discuss their thoughts and behaviors and expect that to just *magically work*?! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. This has set me on the right course!
I agree. I just finished my MMFT program & although we learned theories during school, there wasn't much of "how to ACTUALLY" do the therapy -- like the approach, questions to ask/not ask, etc. I feel like I still don't know what to do when clients come to me with a lot of trauma.
@@pigma98 Yes, I know the feeling. Education, of course, never stops. I find actual work with my clients guide my learning goals and strategies. I search for information about their specific issues and what actually happens in our sessions, etc.
You mean there are actually therapists who, after assessing your sense of safety & stabilization and learning that you have neither, don't immediately tell you that they cannot take you on as a client because of those very reasons? As with any profession, I understand that all counsellors have their own level of expertise and yes I am being kind here - but a response like that has the potential to do irreparable damage. I am a mental health advocate & pro-counseling. I considered myself savvy about what to look for in a competent therapist. But with trauma I didn't know how to suss out one from the other. I had three councillors in a row that did this to me and it was devastating. I'm now making up for lost tim but I sincerely thank you for addressing this issue.
I am in the final semester of my counseling program, and as an intern I am asked to provide counseling to a wide variety of concerns at my community-based clinic, including treating very traumatized clients. But I have zero training on PTSD treatment, which is how I landed on this page. I am so sorry for your experience, and I wish I could say it is a rare thing. Given the academic-focus of my masters program, the sudden expectation to provide real-life counseling, and no one providing oversight for my interventions, I'm sure your experience is far too common. We have not been taught how to instill a sense of safety in our clients (and I still had to go find a different video to learn that just now). I have never heard of this "outside-in" approach, but it makes perfect sense, and I will be applying these lessons with my clients right away. I hope you have found the right provider now, angelwolf. I will keep you in my thoughts.
@@clhunt15 ❤ Thankyou so much for sharing your insight about this. I’m currently training to be a therapist in Australia and the information you have provided has been validating for me and my experience with trauma and PTSD education. I would like to collab with you regarding info on these topics if you’d be interested. Thanks
I like this. It feels like it’s desensitizing the event while leading up to the event if that makes sense. Glad I found this and I will be following this. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this informative video. Extremely helpful information. I have to watch it again and again just to soak up all the information. Love that you had a cat by the way. I'm an MSW student and I'm a huge animal lover that has done rescue for decades. Sorry to hear about the passing of your cat and hopefully you will rescue another. ❤❤
So glad I found your channel! Thank you Nina for creating such an informative, well-organized video. I am writing a book about someone who is going through group therapy for PTSD and needed to know how this looks and what techniques the therapist uses to help the clients reach their goals.
Awe well thank you for that compliment. My secret is putting myself in spaces where I know the littlest and gleaning all I can from the ones ahead of me.
Thank you for your question, but due to nuance nature of treating trauma we don't comment on community members specific healing journeys. We encourage you to find a individual practitioner. One place to look is traumahealing.org.

I am in the same boat just got my llpc and there's not a whole lot of classes that cover how to properly address trauma

The cat was trying to express a traumatic experience
We rescued her from a shelter 19 years ago, she is no longer alive (sadly), but I am sure you are right.
Thank you this was insightful
