For this week’s assignment imagine that you have to write an essay for trauma survivors seeking Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Your essay should include the following sections:
· What are interpersonal trauma symptoms?
· How do trauma symptoms affect partner relationships?
· What do trauma survivors need from their partners?
· How your therapist will be sensitive to your needs as a survivor:
· How your therapist will assess for the appropriateness of EFT and need for referral to individual therapy
· Why and how the therapist will ensure safety and trust
· Why and how the therapist will contain emotions
· Why and how the therapist will ensure therapy does not exceed a ‘therapeutic window’ and re-traumatize clients
