TRAUMA AND THE STRUGGLE TO OPEN UP

How to navigate the therapeutic relationship with trauma survivors, to help bring recovery and growth.

Offering candid, personal guidance, using rich case examples, Dr. Robert T. Muller provides the steps needed to build and maintain a strong therapist-client relationship - one that helps bring recovery and growth. With a host of practical tips and protocols, this book gives therapists a roadmap to effective trauma treatment. Robert T.
