How to use "Counterpoising" in context?
Counterpoising is the process of substituting one object for another to achieve a desired outcome. In psychology, counterpoising can be used in the treatment of trauma. The goal of counterpoising is to provide a stimulating, novel, or protective environment for the individual in order to lessen the likelihood of experiencing intrusive memories or flashbacks. The use of counterpoising has been found to be an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as other types of childhood trauma. Psychologists use counterpoising to help individuals with PTSD who have flashbacks or intrusive memories.
