HOW TO APPROACH TRAUMA: THE PHASE THERAPY
The Three Phase Therapy is a therapeutic model used to deal with outcomes of extreme stress or trauma. This model should only be applied by psychologists or psychiatrists. Even though it’s application is strictly reserved to few specific professions, this model is very useful in order to understand the functioning of a person who has undergone extreme stress or traumatic experiences. This knowledge can help to better understand and evaluate the other person during the help relationship.
