Creating a Nonlinear Narrative for Trauma: a Case Study

• Speaker: Linda Chamberlain, Better Help, Holiday, FL
• Abstract: This workshop explores the use of a non-linear story telling approach to working with a trauma survivor. Often, when we are sharing something secret and painful about a traumatic event, telling the story from beginning to end creates a very high level of anticipatory discomfort. Using a nonlinear format to share painful memories can be helpful in guiding a patient through that experience. A case study using this technique will be discussed.
