Michael's Trauma-Informed Therapy Approach

Philosophy of Trauma Work

• Trauma is stored in both body and mind, restricting authentic self-expression
• Trauma can manifest cognitively, emotionally, and sensorily, often with disconnects between these experiences
• Healing involves reconnecting and integrating these aspects

Therapeutic Tools and Approaches

• Somatic and mindfulness-based techniques
• Narrative Therapy practices as a foundational framework
• Emotional understanding to inform the healing process
• Identity work to reshape trauma-saturated narratives

Unique Aspects of Michael's Approach

• Autonomy and respect for clients' trauma stories
• No probing questions about trauma details
• Focus on healing without requiring full disclosure

Measure of Success

Successful trauma counselling is achieved when the client transitions from being controlled by their trauma story to controlling the narrative themselves.
