Re Annie and Puddleduck's comments : I think working with children is one of if not THE most difficult and sensitive areas in counselling. I too am in 2 minds as to whether counselling in it's usual forms is of any use in helping a traumatised child. As was suggested by one of you I think the paramount thing is that the child feel safe and protected. I don't mean smothered physically or emotionally. Being crowded even if it's with the most protective intentions, could be the last thing they need. The other thing that I agree with here is that it's the parents or carers that need to expert advice and support. I suffered some traumatic events when I was a kid. I was very lucky in that my parents were supported and advised wisely on how to handle me. I remember it vividly. I din't want to talk to anybody apart from my Mum and Dad and my Sister.Re: Does counselling really work ?
Re: Does counselling really work ?
THanks so much Annie. Yes it was hard at the time but I came out of it reasonably unscathed thankfully. I never had counselling as such. Just lots of love and understanding. I'll never forget it though. You just learn to live with things if you're taught to do it the right way. I guess.Re: Does counselling really work ?
