Internal Therapist

undefined:An Internal Therapist may do a number of different things, but this role is generally centered around helping other headmates

An internal therapist may help other headmates to process emotions in a productive manner: and assist them in effective, honest, and safe communication regarding issues.

An internal therapist may help other headmates process and manage their personal struggles, disorders, or trauma, particularly in relation to source memories and exotrauma.

An internal therapist may help other headmates find and use alternative coping mechanisms and move away from destructive coping methods.

An internal therapist may work generally as a therapist or counsellor for other headmates.

Internal therapists tend not to front very often, as this role does not extend to external parties.

'''It's important to note that internal therapists work in very different contexts and manners to outerworld therapists. They are not reliable sources of therapy regarding issues in the outerworld and should not be treated as such.'''
