Presentation

Trauma Recovery
► Recovery from trauma encompasses multiple aspects of
people lives, involves changing deep-seated beliefs and
gaining knowledge and skills that restore a sense of
choice and control.
► The assumption of a trauma history guides every
encounter, whether or not clients screen for, disclose or
even remember trauma and whether or not trauma
treatments are available.
► Responses and defense mechanisms are reframed as
survival strategies that served a safety function and are
seen as evidence of strength and resiliency.
