Working with Trauma
In this episode of The Healthy Practice, we’re thrilled to welcome Nancy Bancroft from The Body In Mind, a therapeutic practice dedicated to supporting clients through trauma-informed care. Nancy shares her journey into private practice, discussing the approaches she uses to help clients process trauma in a safe, embodied way.
Join us as Nancy defines what trauma means today, including the evolving understanding of trauma. We also dive into the differences between primary trauma, secondary trauma, and vicarious trauma—key concepts for therapists and anyone working in a supportive role.
Nancy explains her somatic approach to therapy, detailing how body-focused practices can play a crucial role in trauma recovery. She also opens up about her own self-care rituals, especially before and after intense client sessions, and offers practical tips for other therapists to help prevent the effects of secondary trauma.
