Muller's take on the importance of the therapeutic relationship is an important takeaway from this podcast. Building rapport with your clients should create a safe space for them and critical to their success in their post traumatic growth. Muller also touches of the subject of honesty and as a professional helper, finding the discrepancies and addressing the client in a trauma informed way. Very impactful.

Very informative. The section about hidden identities rang true being a childhood trauma survivor myself. The development of different identities helps with the thoughts of shame you receive those who may not understand or share the feeling.
The sections on the importance of honesty, going at the pace of the client, and having creating a safe environment for the client were all great points to incorporate into this discussion. Really insightful.
