Deep Attunement for Trauma
As a therapist, it is my job to be deeply attuned to my clients, notice when they are becoming distressed, and assist them in returning to their window of tolerance. I like to think of it as good mothering because it is! If I am with my son and we are talking about something, and he suddenly becomes uncomfortable. I notice that. I am attuned to him, to his feelings, his movements, and even the shift in energy between us. I name that shift. Sometimes I’ll ask what happened, sometimes not.
