Some T's specialize in couples, others in EMDR, phyco therapy, cognitive behavior therapy. Mine was doing marriage T, until I told her about what happened to me, and she said oh you need trauma therapy. She just happens to specialize in trauma work. Apparently it is used a lot for PTSD and military related trauma's, but it can also be done with rape survivors, domestic abuse survivors, and any other kinds of trauma.
I had a T who did not specialize in that and when I told her my story she told me "I am not qualified to deal w/ that" another just danced around the issues. This T I have now, I had no idea that trauma T was available. I had never heard of it. It is very interesting, and quite different from any T I have ever received.
I can send you more info later if you would like.
