Offering hope and safety to
clients, who have to date experienced neither; holding a healing space for; and
bearing witness to their suffering are certainly not tasks to be performed in
isolation. Working with a traumatized population requires sustained effort,
compassion, self-care and external support.
Having worked exclusively with
this population-having been overwhelmed periodically by the magnitude of pain
and suffering- I offer professional consultation (in-person or telephonically)
to other clinicians working with those affected by trauma.
