Healing Trauma in Group Settings: The Art of Co-Leader Attunement

Healing Trauma in Group Settings offers a unique focus on the highly valuable role of attuned co-leader relationships in the practice of healing trauma. Drawing on their extensive experience of co-leadership, the authors demonstrate how to maximize the potential for effective trauma work while remaining attuned to the needs of individual group members and the group as a whole. Interwoven throughout with case studies, transcripts, and vignettes, chapters suggest ways in which clinicians can model co-leader relationships as a means for developing a sense of interpersonal safety, exploration of difficult material, and opportunities for healing to take place.

Demonstrating how concepts of attunement can be utilized in real-world settings, Healing Trauma in Group Settings enables mental health professionals to forge connections with clients while drawing on the potential of co-leadership in group therapy.
