How to help a trauma therapy client who wants a quick fix?

Trauma recovery therapy is less about finding a quick fix and more about grieving what we've lost and coming to terms with reality as it is, painful though that may be. The journey towards recovery is at one level lifelong – it's about 'heading north' – but it's also about adding good things in, rather than just trying to deal with the bad stuff. We can manage expectations by focusing on the 'gain' rather than on the 'gap' ... Watch this video to hear a pragmatic, realistic but ultimately hopeful take on recovery from trauma.

My name is Carolyn Spring. I’m an author, trainer, and trauma survivor. Through my writing and speaking, I help people to recover from trauma. If you want to learn more about trauma, dissociation and recovery – either for yourself or to help others – then this is the place for you. My unique perspective is the ‘both/and’ of a survivor-professional – combining the latest neuroscience research and the clinical literature (making the complex simple!) with the personal: someone who’s actually been there.
