Abstract
This article examines the experience of trauma in the life of the therapist. However unthinkable, trauma does occur in our lives. What are our obligations to ourselves and to our patients? Are there preparations we must anticipate? Legacies we should prepare? Can we insure that those lives we have touched in our professional work are not gravely injured by the trauma that has befallen us? This is a topic seldom included in the training curriculum for psychologists, counselors, social workers and therapists. Yet it is the unexpected for which planned protocol needs to be in place. Who should notify one's clients? What words should be used-and should any disclosures be made? Can practice be resumed effectively-if at all? The effects of the experience of trauma on the mind, body, spirit and practice of a therapist are presented in their generic and practical aspects applicable to all who are involved in the field of psychotherapy.
