Video: Diane Poole Heller on Transforming Trauma

In this clip from her Networker Symposium Keynote, "Creating a Corrective Emotional Experience," trauma expert Diane Poole Heller explains how trauma involves an internal battle between the sufferer's sympathetic nervous system and resting state. The result, she says, is pent-up energy that therapists can use constructively, should they know how to safely tap into it. Here, she shares a clip from an actual session with a traumatized client, and explains her intervention as it unfolds.

As someone with CPTSD being asked to imagine things (Forest etc) is enormously stressful. It actually makes my panic or anxiety much much worse! That doesn't work for everyone.
