For some clients this works. It is called exposure therapy. The goal is to desensitize a client to their trauma so it no longer holds so much power over their lives.

Thank you very much for this post. I have heard of this in CBT (like for treating phobias), but did not realize that other modalities used it as well. Are the T's supposed to inform the clients that they are doing this? If not, why not?
