Empowering Trauma Survivors: A Systemic Perspective
Welcome back to Therapy Chat! In this week's podcast, Laura Reagan, LCSW-C speaks with Antonieta Contreras, LCSW-R about trauma therapy and the importance of a systemic approach to healing.
They discussed misconceptions surrounding trauma therapy, emphasizing the importance of understanding the connection between trauma and the loss of internal equilibrium. They also explored the roles of nature, nurture, and consciousness in healing. Antonieta shared her approach to therapy and how therapists could utilize her book, 'Traumatization and Its Aftermath,' to develop a systemic approach. The book is filled with insights into the experience of early trauma and its impact on identity development, among other topics.
