Book excerpt: Gatekeeping in the counseling profession is a critical responsibility, balancing the need to uphold ethical standards while showing compassion and understanding. It involves complex decision-making, often without clear guidelines, which can lead to uncertainty and stress for those in gatekeeping roles. Adopting a trauma-informed approach adds valuable context, helping gatekeepers navigate the process with greater empathy and awareness of the broader implications. Evidence-based practices not only enhance the effectiveness of gatekeeping but also support the well-being of both gatekeepers and those they evaluate. Strengthening gatekeeping processes is essential for maintaining professional integrity, safeguarding client welfare, and fostering a healthy counseling community. Cases on Trauma-Informed Gatekeeping in Counselor Education focuses on gatekeeping from a trauma-informed lens and helps readers consider multiple contextual layers of the process and outcomes of this work. It compiles relevant theoretical considerations, practical applications, empirical findings, and case illustrations of scenarios related to professional gatekeeping processes through a trauma-informed lens. Covering topics such as decision-making, neurodiversity, and supervision, this book is an excellent resource for counselor educators, field supervisors, doctoral students, and more.
