Trauma therapy is a type of psychotherapy designed to help individuals heal from the emotional, mental, and physical impacts of trauma. Trauma can result from a single event, like an accident or assault, or from ongoing experiences, such as childhood abuse or emotional neglect.
The goal of trauma therapy is to help clients process their traumatic experiences in a safe, supportive environment, allowing them to understand and heal from their pain.
Our Doctoral-level therapist helps reduce symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and nightmares but also supports individuals in regaining control over their lives and building healthy coping mechanisms. It is a vital step in healing and reclaiming a sense of safety and peace.
Research by the American Psychological Association in 2019 shows that trauma-focused therapies like EMDR have an effectiveness rate of 77% in helping clients manage PTSD symptoms.
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and challenge negative thought patterns linked to trauma. It helps you reduce anxiety, depression, and emotional distress by changing the way you think and behave.
EMDR uses guided eye movements to process traumatic memories. It helps you reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences, allowing for quicker emotional recovery and healing.
IFS works with different parts of yourself, like your inner critic or wounded child. It helps you integrate these parts, leading to emotional balance, self-compassion, and healing.
Somatic therapy uses body-based techniques like breathwork and movement to release trauma stored physically. It helps you reconnect with your body, promoting emotional release, relaxation, and grounding.
Trauma-focused therapy can benefit anyone dealing with the lasting effects of distressing events. If you identify with any of the following, trauma therapy may be the right step for you:
