Episode notes
Defining "Recent" Trauma Uniquely
- "Recent" trauma can include events from a year or more ago if the nervous system hasn't had a break to integrate the experience.
- The brain views ongoing trauma without integration as still recent, making RTEP potentially appropriate even for older trauma.
Populations That Need RTEP
- Use RTEP especially when working with recent trauma in populations like first responders or short-term crisis intervention clients.
- It is particularly vital after major community traumas, assaults, or ongoing legal situations.
Key Early RTEP Steps
- Begin RTEP with brief history taking focused on assessing client readiness and trauma appropriateness.
- Prioritize containment and safety preparation, especially when sessions are limited and trauma may still be ongoing.
