Understanding the Silence Around Abuse: RACIS for Healing in Therapy

Abuse, whether recent or historical, often remains shrouded in silence. This silence can be particularly profound when dealing with non-recent abuse, trauma, and unresolved historical difficulties. It’s crucial to understand and address the reasons behind this silence to help you on your healing journey. Integrating the RACIS Model—Recognise, Accept, Co-ordinate, Integrate, Synthesise—can provide a structured approach to this process.
