A trauma informed Therapy for men and couples by Kristal De Santis, LMFT



De Santis loves working with men as do I.  She reports that 75% of suicides globally are by men and one in four men seek professional help.  Early intervention reduces risk of suicide.


Safety Exercise:  Emotions?  Is it going into your body?


Deep breathing together.


What is stability to you?  It begins with grounding.


Self regulations :  Him breaths ;  her possibly reaching out to him.


Repair work:  I’m sorry about that action; I can see I hurt you.  I understand how my actions affected you.  Now how can I make it right.  


Here is my plan for doing it better next time.  How are you doing?


Respect:  Where are they at?  Rupture to repair.

Suicide is going to be a topic I am going to talk about again.   I downloaded a lot of slides, however some did not want to have things shared.   In that case I won’t be sharing anything.  As you know I have decided to retire 30 Dec 25 and will then be considered a Registered Psychotherapist - Inactive.  What I am going to do moving forward is still provide you with notes of theology, psychology, u-tubes of interest as it pertains to mental health and pretty much continue as I have been doing.   If you have any questions of anything I share, please do not hesitate.  What do you think?
