Description

Description:

Today and in the immediate future, short-term therapy is a major available treatment for most clients. In this paper, I will discuss the use of Short-Term Redecision Therapy in the resolution of major childhood traumas, such as physical, sexual, and mental abuse. In Redecision Therapy, the client remembers, re-enacts, uses therapeutically, and then discards these early traumatic scenes.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To name the five common pathological beliefs resulting from childhood trauma.
  2. To name three redecisions that are commonly necessary for victims of physical or sexual abuse.
  3. To name three effective methods of promoting therapeutic resolution and closure after the needed redecisions are made.
