Not if done correctly, no. In fact all of the evidence we have so far suggests that when it is done appropriately, when it is done within the correct context and with someone with the correct experience, revisiting the trauma is actually a critical component to engaging in successful long-term treatment. I think one of the key elements is that you have to begin with a relationship with that person. Then you build trust, and then you can engage in the evidence-based treatment protocols that are necessary to help them with symptom reduction.
