The Trauma Trap: Rupture and Repair within the Therapeutic Relationship

When your client has experienced attachment injury and complex trauma this will inevitably come into the therapeutic relationship. The trauma trap can be feel confusing, anxiety-provoking and bewildering for therapists as they seek to understand what is occurring within the relationship and how ruptures can come about so quickly and unexpectedly.

Trauma transference, re-enactments and projective identification are all unconscious dynamics that can emerge with intensity within the therapeutic relationship. Having an understanding of these phenomenas will significantly support your practice and help you robustly work through ruptures/issues within the relationship.

By doing this a client's trauma patterns can emerge into consciousness to be attended to with curiousness and kindness helping them to transform their relationship with themselves and others.
