Advice Wanted
Hello everyone! I am a newly independently licensed therapist. I have done a lot of training on trauma and primarily work as a trauma therapist. I have some clients that I have no problem starting trauma work with, but I have other clients that come in and never tell me anything about any trauma. I have had a couple clients lately discontinue services because they felt that they wanted to focus on trauma more. I guess I am a bit confused and would like some advice. Is there something I can do to try and get clients to talk about trauma if they are not? Is the client just saying that they want to work on trauma more because we don't click, and they want to try a different therapist?
It has caught me off guard hearing clients tell me that they want to go to a trauma therapist to work on trauma when it hasn't been something discussed. What can I do if anything?
