How to pace seasons of therapy
The trauma recovery journey in therapy can be painful and difficult. And sometimes it can feel overwhelming, with too much to do and too much painful content. In this video, I look at how I leaned into the difficult work in therapy through planning and pacing during different 'seasons' of the work.
The original question that this excerpt answers was about how to help a client who wants to dive into trauma work when they're perhaps not quite ready for it, and the self-sabotage that might lead to premature exploration of traumatic material.

I’m Carolyn Spring and I’m an author, trainer, consultant and Founder of the Trauma Recovery Community. I help counsellors and therapists help their clients recover from complex trauma. Over 40,000 people have accessed my live or online training , and I’ve provided hundreds of hours of 1:1 consultations with therapists to unpick the really tricky aspects of working with complex trauma.
I combine perspectives from both the clinical literature and research with the first-person insight of someone who’s actually been there, and I make the complex simple … but without ever being simplistic. I believe in hope for recovery from even the most appalling suffering … but only with the right support. I support the supporters.
