What You Need to Know About Treating Trauma

Welcome to the Healthy Baby Boomers Network Blog Talk Radio Show.  I am your host, Dr. Erica Goodstone, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Spiritual Relationship Healer and Somatic Body Psychotherapist, Helping Men and Women Heal Their Bodies and Their Relationships Through Love, author of the book: Love Me, Touch Me, Heal Me and the romantic novel, Love in the Blizzard of Life, and creator of Healing Through Love Seminars, Love Me, Touch Me, Heal Me Relationship System and the upcoming 30 Day Love Challenge.

This show is all about living your dreams, fulfilling your life purpose and creating and sustaining love and health and total well-being for the rest of your life, no matter what age you are right now.  In every episode I speak with vibrant, exciting and positive men and women who are proving that life can, and often does, get better and better as we reach our 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and beyond.

Today I am speaking with Tracey Reubenstein, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a therapist who has had extensive training and experience working with victims of trauma.  Originally practicing in New Orleans as a Victim Services Counselor, she provided information, clinical services, referrals and she often accompanied victims to court.  As director of the YWCA Rape Crisis Program she managed the 24-hour crisis line, the medical advocacy service, outpatient clinical services, staff development and even grant writing.  Then after the devastation of hurricane Katrina, Tracey was assistant director for the Metropolitan Center for Women and Children, focused on funding and services for domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault and human trafficking.  With so much hands on experience, she can provide us with insights into how to most appropriately speak with trauma victims.  Currently Tracey has a private practice in Boca Raton, Florida.
