There are several treatment approaches employed by therapists in the treatment of trauma, and I am curious to hear from survivors what actually matters most to you? We (therapists) often assume that whatever modality we use, our skill set and our experience are the most significant, but I wonder what do you look for in a therapist? What has worked for you? What hasn't? Is it most important to feel connected to the therapist as a person or is their skill set more valuable? Do they need to specialize in the issue that brought you in for treatment? Is geography what you care about (i.e. their office needs to be close to your house or the therapist needs to offer services remotely)?
If you have been in treatment before without success, what clearly has not worked for you? Are there modalities that were ineffective or you didn't care for?
I am curious to hear your responses! Thank you very much! ~Athena
