 The Counting Method: A Treatment Technique for PTSD
This video offers a rare opportunity: Learn how to use a powerful technique for treating PTSD by watching an actual therapy session in the middle of a long-term course of treatment.
Traumatic memories invade the consciousness of those who suffer from PTSD, presenting a profound challenge for both the survivor and therapist. In this video, Ochberg explains and models his Counting Method, a simple yet effective tool used to master the flashbacks and intrusive recollections so common in PTSD.
During this extraordinary session, Ochberg works with a client with PTSD who is midway through a long-term, outpatient therapy. You’ll see Ochberg explain the Counting Method to her, guide and anchor her through the recollection of a traumatic event, and then discuss and debrief the experience with her. It is powerful to watch this client move into, through and out of the pain of the torturous memories she brings forth. Ochberg teaches us a valuable lesson on how to work safely, effectively and compassionately with such difficult material.
By watching this video, you'll be able to:
- Explain each step of the Counting Method technique.
- Use the counting method with PTSD clients who are ready to master their traumatic memories and flashbacks.
- Integrate Ochberg’s use of pacing, a steady and safe presence, and the therapeutic connection in your own work with clients with PTSD.
