Rethinking Trauma Treatment

Attachment, Memory Reconsolidation, and Resilience

De: Courtney Armstrong

Narrado por: Tiffany Morgan

Creating safety, hope, and secure attachment to transform traumatic memories.

What makes trauma therapy effective? The answers might surprise you. While therapists have been bombarded with brain science, hundreds of new models, and pressure to use evidence-based techniques, research has demonstrated that the therapeutic relationship ultimately predicts therapy outcomes. This is especially true for traumatized clients. But, what kind of therapeutic relationship? Forming a secure therapeutic alliance with traumatized clients is tricky. How do you help clients trust you after they've been abused, betrayed, or exploited? How do you instill hope and convince clients who've been devastated by loss to believe that a better life is possible?

In this accessible guide, Courtney Armstrong distills discoveries from attachment theory, brain science, and post-traumatic growth into practical strategies you can use to: 1) build trust and a secure therapeutic relationship; 2) transform traumatic memories into stories of triumph and courage; and 3) help clients cultivate resilience and a positive post-trauma identity.

A must for every trauma therapist

I just finished listening to Rethinking Trauma Treatment. I am blown away and impressed by the vast range of complex topics covered in such an easy to read format including neuroscience, attachment theory/research, mindfulness, theory of mind, different types of trauma presentations, an alternative view from the CBT “Evidenced-Based-Treatment newspeak,” post traumatic growth, moral injury, and gratitude research. I love that you start and end with the importance of the relationship (something that some people seem to forgot in this day and age of protocol therapies! ). All this information was wonderfully packaged and interwoven with real cases which demonstrate your insights and the layers of complexity in the same people in different chapter themes. You have distilled the wisdom of the master clinician. It took me over 20 years to put all these pieces together and I still have learned a thing or two here. The beginner and experienced trauma therapist alike can benefit from this book. High praise for Rethinking Trauma Treatment by Courtney Armstrong!

why won't audible let me write my true feelings?

this explains why I don't care for the content of the book ...probably not the author or the readers fault.
