Resolution may or may not involve forgiveness to the perpetrator, but what is important is that the client redefines her relationship with the trauma.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thoughtsontherapy.blogspot.com/2009/06/why-women-cut-part-2.html">a therapist may also teach the client more adaptive coping skills to deal with triggers, such as meditation, visual imagery exercises, writing and other forms of artistic expression.
