You are the expert, I have the expertise. - We will cooperate on finding a tailored approach for the problem at hand.
In Systemic Therapy and Counselling, problems or symptoms are viewed as an unfortunate attempt to solve another problem and therefore symptoms, that might be considered “ill” or “severe”, are understandable reactions to the outer and inner environment. The aim is to find alternative strategies to resolve the underlying problem and therefore make the current, problematic solution obsolete.
In Systemic Trauma Therapy we look at tending to injured parts within the self or overcome burdening experiences in other ways (e.g. CIPBS).
With traumatic topics I take extra care to ensure that the process fits the client.
