Description 1 online resource (1 video file, approximately 82 min.)
Summary "While the therapeutic relationship is very important, and an important substrate to the patient doing his or her work, in some ways we may have to be more like plumbers than like priests. And the task of the plumber is to unplug the toilet, not to have a warm relationship with the person whose toilet is plugged. And so maybe the task of the therapist is to provide the patient the skills that allow them to manage their lives." Bessel van der Kolk. This video series describes a range of PTSD treatment approaches that the presenters have found useful in working with patients suffering from the effects of repeated victimization. Many of the skills survivors need most, learning how to tolerate touch, learning how to fight, may involve adjunctive therapies outside the traditional mental health field
