ABSTRACT

Getting further help may seem daunting, but there are a variety of sources. External help may be simpler and easier to access than health professionals expect, so, don’t panic or procrastinate, but sit down and work out calmly and logically what they need help with. The National Health Service website provides information about On Line Help, which is mostly accessed via a GP referral. In the USA and Canada, there are many websites that provide helpful information on all aspects of well-being, including advice on finding a therapist for psychological difficulties. Briere, a specialist in working with deep and complex trauma, recommends that therapists should work with strategies their clients have developed to help themselves, rather than introducing unfamiliar and uncomfortable techniques. During therapy, a therapist should be helping health professionals to develop new skills to facilitate and encourage they emotional development.
