Assignment task:
Q1. What do you think of the Stanley Brown Safety Plan? Could you use this with numerous populations and settings?
Q2. Describe the presence of grief and loss within the military lifestyle.
Q3. A prevalent concern with emotional abuse, neglect, and physical abuse is that a child or adult may feel unsafe or unable to connect with others following the trauma and may feel vulnerable with a counselor. In fact, a child may engage in several strategies of disconnection that create a safe distance from their counselor. A relationally attuned counselor respects these strategies and, in the words of relational-cultural theory, views them as strategies for survival. If you were the counselor, how would you honor these strategies while also supporting movement and connection in your relationship?
