Treat the Childhood Trauma of "Otherness" in Your Teen and Adult Clients
Do you have clients that were tormented because of their skin color, gender, accent, family’s religion, culture, financial struggles or sexual orientation?
Was it at school, when someone called your client a name because of the color of their skin, their accent, or because they were wearing hand-me-down shoes?
Maybe their height, weight or scars?
Because they were LGBTQ?
As a clinician you might’ve felt the same way as your clients at one point in your life – cast as “different” or considered “less-than” – creating a story that impacted every relationship you have, even the one with yourself. This type of bullying and trauma can lead to a sense of Otherness, which can manifest as controlling behaviors, manipulation, self-destruction, relationship troubles or even cruelty.
And it's bringing clients to your office because they experienced the same thing.
