How can we foster resilience in clients who have experienced trauma?

A person’s response to trauma is often to lock away the parts that were wounded by their experience.

But that can leave them feeling protective and fragile – and fearful about being triggered again.

You want me to come to my inner hurt and pain with love and compassion? #cepv #IMustWin
