Focusing on caregivers' reactions to the trauma is essential during the creation of a child's Trauma Narrative in TF-CBT. Caregivers play a critical role in the healing process, and their understanding and responses to the child’s traumatic experiences can significantly influence the child's recovery. By exploring caregivers' emotions, beliefs, and behaviors related to the trauma, therapists can help them recognize how their reactions may impact the child's feelings and coping mechanisms. This understanding can foster a supportive environment where caregivers can effectively aid the child in processing trauma, facilitating open discussions about the traumatic events, and validating the child’s feelings.

In this collaborative approach, caregivers can learn better ways to support their child, which ultimately contributes to the child’s ability to articulate their experiences and emotions more effectively during the narrative process.
