There are many issues that could arise if you aren't aware of the trauma that your clients has gone through. Courtois and Ford (2009) stressed that assessing someone is an important step in the treatment process. For me, this helps guide the conversation. I feel that if there is a lack of awareness that there could be something that triggers the person you are trying to help and wouldn’t even be aware of it. Also, I don’t feel that healing will begin unless the team ( helper and client) are aware of what is being worked towards. in most cases in order to do this goal setting, back group trauma would be good information to have. Along the line of healing and triggers, it is hard to create a safe place, if the helper doesn't know about the trauma.
