it is not a matter of getting her in trouble or hurting her feelings. it would be a dis-service to her to not bring this up to her supervisor. the purpose of students seeing clients is so that they can learn, train to do therapy on their own. the chances that her supervisor really watches all her taped sessions is unlikely. she may choose one here or there to get a sampling of the students work. or they are on hand for when there is a complaint. her supervisor needs to know that this is the advice that was given, which was bad advice. this student maybe missed that day in DSM class on how to treat trauma. if you let it slide by, she will be treating all future patients the same way. you let her supervisor know, she will not get in trouble, she will simply be corrected with the knowledge on the appropriate way to treat trauma patients. she is there to learn,but she wont learn if it is not known that she made a mistake. stand up for yourself. just because you are getting free service doesnt mean you have to accept poor service.
