Actually, the goal of the Maison La Vigile is not to provide psychotherapy or to work directly on the trauma. You have to understand that, when a person is living through an experience, it triggers thoughts and interpretations of the event, which lead to the particular behaviours. It’s often those initial interpretations that are false.
At the Maison La Vigile, we use the cognitive behaviour approach. We are interested in the interpretation of the thoughts, whether it is realistic, whether it can be countered, in order to lead the person to change their behaviours when they realize that the thoughts are not accurate. Our involvement is based on the cognitive behaviour approach that is widely used by psychologists.
