- Summary:
- "Dr. Steven Gold uses contextual trauma therapy with a White woman in her 30s who experienced childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Gold develops a rapport with the client, and together they establish a session goal of obtaining more closure for her past. The client discloses several instances of childhood abuse, including abandonment by her mother at the age of six, consistent beatings by her father, and repeated sexual abuse by her brother between the ages of eight and thirteen. As a result, she suffers from depression and occasional suicidal ideation. The client attributes much of her resilience to her supportive, compassionate relationship with her mother-in-law, who passed away seven years ago. Additionally, she has contemplated making amends with her family, but she is concerned about the safety and welfare of her children as well as herself. Throughout the session, she speaks about her three children and her desire to treat them differently than she was raised. Although her children have had a better childhood than she had, the client expresses guilt about her self-perceived ability to parent and her role as a mother. Despite her horrific childhood experiences, she remains largely optimistic about her future and expresses a desire to continue her education and parenting"
