This time of year often has me reflecting, looking back and looking forward. While I am not a fan of resolutions in the traditional sense, I do like setting goals or intentions for the year to come.
In 2010 my goal for Treating Trauma was to explore self-love and healing after trauma. I did (with the help of guest blogger Darlene Ouimet of Emerging from Broken ) in the following posts:
Self-love is a topic so central to trauma therapy, I am sure I will revisit it in different ways in the future. My last few posts listed above began to address a topic I intend to explore further in 2011: therapy issues for those with dissociative disorders.
I am also interested in writing about therapy in general, the nuts and bolts of what the process involves.I also intend to write about the therapy process, exploring in-depth the meaning of concepts such as transference, the therapeutic frame, boundaries and resistance. You may have heard these used, but what do they really mean, especially within the context of trauma therapy?
I also welcome reader requests. One thing I so value about blogging is how we inform and inspire each other to further deepen the conversation about trauma and healing.
