Hello Dan.
Yes, I have seen this cruelty, as well, and also have withdrawn . I
cannot accept that cruelty is an essential element of insight and
truth...however brilliant. There are many other ways to work with painful
material that
upholds a respect for the client's dignity, at all times. In trauma work,
clients are already feeling dis-empowered and we don't want to do anything
to overwhelm and already overwhelmed person. What healing value has
brilliant cruelty if the client shuts down out of fear or shame and withdraws
and
likely has been re-traumatized?
all for now...
