Description
Description:
Today and in the immediate future, short-term therapy is a major available treatment for most clients. In this paper, I will discuss the use of Short-Term Redecision Therapy in the resolution of major childhood traumas, such as physical, sexual, and mental abuse. In Redecision Therapy, the client remembers, re-enacts, uses therapeutically, and then discards these early traumatic scenes.
Educational Objectives:
- To name the five common pathological beliefs resulting from childhood trauma.
- To name three redecisions that are commonly necessary for victims of physical or sexual abuse.
- To name three effective methods of promoting therapeutic resolution and closure after the needed redecisions are made.
