Importance of Allowing Clients to Define Trauma

In this episode of the Uni-Therapy Podcast, host Kat discusses the topic of trauma and the importance of allowing clients to define their own traumatic experiences. She emphasizes that it is not the therapist's role to impose a label of trauma onto clients, but rather to help them regain power and feel safe in acknowledging their own experiences. Kat believes that trauma is subjective, and while certain events may universally be considered traumatic, individuals may respond differently to them. Instead of assuming and pushing our own judgments onto clients, it is crucial to create a safe environment where they can express themselves authentically.
