Hi Kirk, It's taken me a long while to get through this episode. This is re. #15, poor trauma therapy. I got my Masters degree in School Psychology in 1991, my Psy.D. in 2000 and subsequently completed 2 post doctoral training programs in psychoanalysis at the Derner Institute at Adelphi University. As far as I can recall, at no point did we ever receive in depth training in the treatment of trauma. We definitely learned about trauma, but not about good treatment practices. Its pathetic and embarrassing. I have definitely re-traumatized several folks, just trying to do my best to help, but I messed people up. On the positive side, my post-doctoral program at Adelphi is implementing a trauma treatment program in 2020. I hope that the training will be adequate. I feel awful about being part of this problem.

Thanks for sharing, Ed. That makes me feel better since I did the same thing to my early clients. Yes. Pathetic and embarrassing.

I’ve been working through everything that I can find in your epic pod cast re-runs about trauma, and it’s really validating, because I’ve had so many really terrible experiences trying to deal with it in therapy. It seems like everyone meant really well and had good intentions, but sadly that the appropriate training and how to address it. This whole time, I’ve just been thinking I was super extra extra broken, so it’s nice to have a different narrative. It sounds like you’re super busy and have plenty of deep dives waiting to be dove, but, I do think it would be like the bees knees if you did one on trauma: getting into the physiological nature of it, cultural trauma, epigenetic transmission (if you believe it’s a thing), secondary trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD...you know, all of it, including your exposure approach, lifespan integration, and EMDR.
