• But rather than ‘treat’ the events, neuroscience teaches us how to treat their effects.
• When trauma symptoms are “decoded” as evidence of how individuals survived, they become comprehensible and treatable.
• Clients are recruited as active participants in the treatment, are educated to understand trauma-related responses, reassuring them that they are not inadequate or crazy.
• Best of all, a brief therapy model can be inherently relational while avoiding the 'side effects' of long-term therapeutic relationships.
