It's just nice to hear everyone's different opinions and experiences :)

During my masters, I realised this was something I found most challenging so its a working progress!

I have always been a little reluctant to share my personal life as I fear it will take away from the clients experience but I shall certainly bear in mind what you have said. I do have history of trauma and I am not neurotypical either which I feel works to my advantage as the way I process...

A few people have said to me that they can't access the survey from their device so if you have tried and it doesn't work, try this reformatted version: Link Removed

Yes I usually start with stabalisation. Everyone is different and I try to adapt to the clients needs although the core elements of the work are the same e.g stabalisation, building relationship, building safety etc. I am so sorry that you have experienced suicidal feelings. In my experience...

I am so pleased that you managed to get the help that you needed in the end and you have a counsellor who works for you. I am also so sorry for you and everyone on this thread that things happened to you that you needed help in the first place. I really wish you the best of luck in the future...

I think your experience is reflective of a lot of people. I think the reason for including the trust question is that I have a real interest in how trust develops and I do think it's so important for other therapists to understand how to build and develop trust on a deeper level so that clients...

Hoping that this will help people recover quicker...

Yes, I work quite intently with clients but obviously within the clients capabilities and safety zone, most clients are exhausted by the end of our sessions so I do wonder whether the personality and modality of the therapist influences it at all. I may try out some 90 minute sessions in my...

Have you had much experience of therapists who do 2 hour sessions? I have personally never done one

Thank you and appreciated. Probably worthwhile for anyone reading this to write a bit about my background. Worked long terms with survivors of childhood sexual abuse and currently work in private practice but strongly believe that mental health care should be readily available and free for all...

Thanks guys. I really appreciate taking the time to reply to me and lots of useful comments there. That's an interesting one @Friday Moderator as it is something I have considered in the past and there is a type of therapy called Schema Therapy which often is 90 minutes- 2 hour sessions. I think...

Hi all, I am a trauma therapist and currently looking to develop a holistic and collaborative service which would be free to everyone who has experienced some form of trauma (Ranging from military to childhood abuse to illness and bereavement etc). As well as providing therapy, I would like the...
