The Profound Impact of Trauma on Your Client’s Relationships (and How to Work with It)

So to help you address the aftereffects of trauma that can become embedded in your client’s relationships, we brought together 10 of the field’s leading experts.

They’ll share their best strategies to help clients forge a safe, healing sense of connection with others in the aftermath of trauma.
