──── WHAT IS TRAUMA?
Understanding how to work with PTSD and Trauma
Trauma does not always look dramatic. Sometimes it appears as everyday struggles that persist that can go unnoticed to therapists. Unless you ask the questions you will not know what you are working with.
Eleusium offers an approach that will help you work with your clients by creating safety first. If you don’t do this your clients will not be able to move out of the cycle they are in.
"This is not about forcing exposure."
It is about building stability and trust in your clients first.
Trauma may appear during therapy as:
Constant tension
Emotional numbness
Sleep problems
Irritability
Feeling disconnected
Avoiding reminders
Being 'on edge' most of the time

-
The Counter Transference Dance
We begin by listening carefully to your experiences in therapy, and current challenges. This helps reveal your counter transference and what is in the way.
-
Identifying Your Patterns
Together, we map the cycles of avoidance, tension, or overwhelm that you may be experiencing as a result of being exposed to symptoms of PTSD or chronic stress.
-
Strengthening Your Emotional Regulation
Treating Trauma effectively requires a solid understanding of: grounding skills, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and coping strategies that help you maintain your self awareness so you are attuned to your client.
-
Reduce Reactivity In Your Clients
Reducing reactivity in your clients starts with you! Regulation improves when you’re internal responses become less automatic and more intentional, allowing your client to feel calmer and more at ease with you.
-
Trusting Your Intuition
Attunement is central to working with and processing trauma. Your intuition is vital to this process.
Self Integration
Supervision helps you integrates your inner process with body awareness helping you build language to your experience. The more adept you are the more grounded you will be with your clients.
"Supervision is a guided process helping you grow as a therapist."
