Therapeutic approach
Dr Ann’s approach to working with trauma, including PSTD and Complex Trauma is guided by Integrated Spiritual Theory, that she developed. This approach allows for the inclusion of all elements of the self in the therapeutic space – mind, body and soul. Given how deeply trauma impacts each of these elements it is important to include such an approach when working with trauma.
