Information about Trauma

~ Not completely understand what has happened
~ Blame themselves
~ Hold on to myths because they've been misled and deliberately given incorrect information.
~ One of the best ways to help is to provide accurate information.
Psychoeducation

~ Clarify inappropriate information children may have obtained directly from the perpetrator or on their own
~ Identify safety issues.
~ Provide another way to target faulty or maladaptive beliefs by helping to normalize thoughts and feelings about the traumatic experience(s).
~ Get the child to start talking about the specific trauma(s) that he or she has experienced in a less anxiety-provoking way by talking, in general about the type of trauma
