ABSTRACT

Chapter 10 focuses on three detailed client case studies, which will demonstrate how a BioPsychoSocialSpiritual model can be used to treat trauma. The first case is an example of using Heart Led Psychotherapy (HLP) informed Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). This is illustrated by providing some transcripts of EMDR processing sessions to demonstrate how the Heart Led model of HLP facilitated the processing of traumas, including the use of spiritual interweaves. The second case demonstrates how being open to spirituality enabled a client to process the recent death of her daughter during EMDR sessions (transcripts of sessions are provided), in combination with Akashic Record healing, to clear soul level blocks and restrictions. The third case is another example of working multi-dimensionally, using the Heart and Soul Led (HASL) model of HLP, alongside Akashic Record healing. Finally, a supervision session is detailed where spirituality is discussed with a supervisee to help her reconnect with her own spirituality so that she could start embracing this within her clinical work.
