Dr. Michael Dadson Discusses-Trauma Therapy Approaches
According to Dr. Michael Dadson:
Being a trauma informed therapist means, acquiring the knowledge about what a psychological traumatic stress event is, the relationship of that event to the perception of the person, as well as understanding the physiological and psychological defensive responses to a traumatic event, the way these defensive responses work to help the person survive, how those reactions can become invasive and intrusive when prolonged, rigid, and repetitious over time. Having this “trauma informed awareness” involves applying the therapeutic approaches effectively resolve the unresolved defensive reactions while managing and treating the symptoms.
