Understanding client’s belief system helping treatment process

I have met a client who came with many concerns on daily life. Most importantly on her daughter’s security. She concerned that her daughter might get sexually abuse by men no matter father, grandfather, teachers or strangers. She is working with NGO that provide help for young females who got sexually abuse. More or less, she agreed that the nature of her current work and her worry are related. However, through AIP perspective the therapist found out her worry is related to her sexually abuse during childhood. By learning about client’s religious belief system, therapeutic relationship was faster to build. This is the most important resource that have been use during the reprocessing. As the result after feeder memory have been process, the level of disturbance on other traumatic memories were also decrease.
