Description

Trauma Informed Guilt Reduction Therapy: Reducing Guilt and Shame after Trauma provides mental health professionals with transdiagnostic techniques for assessing and treating guilt and shame related to traumatic events. The book outlines the TrIGR (Trauma Informed Guilt Reduction Therapy) protocol, an evidence-based treatment plan for helping clients whose primary presentation isn't fear or anxiety, but rather guilt and/or shame related to a traumatic event or events. TrIGR also offers clinical flexibility as it can be administered as a standalone treatment, as an adjunct to other empirically supported treatment, before or after PTSD treatment, or integrated into other PTSD and depression treatments. Case studies demonstrate how TrIGR can be used with a range of trauma types, including physical assault, combat-related events, motor vehicle accidents, and more. Conceptualization of trauma-related guilt and shame, assessment and treatment of this guilt and shame, and special applications are all covered in-depth.
