DescriptionThis clinical case study chronicles the complex engagements within a multi-contextual relationship between an undocumented Latina client and her therapist. Individuals who experience trauma are often left with unresolved wounds from previous experiences that create layers of suppressed emotions. If these suppressed emotions are not healed, they can lead to unhealthy relationships, and even harmful responses, consciously or unconsciously. It is a journey that therapists often guide their patients through with support, education, and enactments. Many clinicians make the mistake of bracketing themselves out of this journey, rather than bracketing their own life experiences, unresolved trauma, memories, and inevitably eliciting countertransferential reactions within this engagement. The value of the cultural influence is often reduced to language, geographic similarities, and blanketed cultural idioms. The therapeutic relationship specifically within this study, however, challenges the traditional practices of boundaries and enactments, and further complicates the parallel journey a young clinician embarks on with his internal thoughts and a client’s evolution.
