Humility, authenticity, and relational safety are essential to truly trauma-informed care—yet many clinicians receive limited training in working with complex and relational trauma. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Ramani Durvasula will be joined by Kimberly Shannon Murphy (Hollywood stuntwoman, author, and trauma survivor) to explore Kimberly’s childhood experiences of trauma, family denial, and the damaging impact of antagonistic and narcissistic dynamics. They’ll discuss the critical need for therapists to be both trauma- and antagonism-informed, and reflect on Kimberly’s journey through therapy—what helped, what didn’t, and what her experience teaches us about gaps in trauma training and care.
You’ll learn:
Client-informed insights into what survivors need from therapy
The pitfalls of pressuring survivors toward forgiveness
Practical strategies for integrating trauma- and antagonism-informed approaches into clinical practice
