What is your go-to approach for PTSD/trauma therapy?

My go-to approach for PTSD and trauma therapy is a trauma-informed approach focused on helping the client process their narrative. Another important and widely regarded form of trauma therapy is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

In PTSD/trauma therapy, I work with folks to build regulation skills and give them a lot of psychoeducation and unconditional positive regard.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy?

Clients can know if they’re making progress if they become any less symptomatic, are better able to understand their narrative, and are more able to regulate themselves.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement PTSD/trauma therapy?

To supplement PTSD/trauma therapy, clients can and should use breathing techniques to self-regulate, exercise or move, and engage in their community.

What should someone do to prepare for starting PTSD/trauma therapy?

To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy appointment, clients should explore their therapy options to help them understand what their options are!

Starting Trauma therapy

What is trauma therapy?

Trauma therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on treating the psychological impact of traumatic events on individuals. Trauma therapy helps people process and heal from their trauma by guiding them through their trauma in a compassionate and supportive way, allowing clients to feel the full scope of what happened to them and eventually move on from the event(s). This process helps people who have experienced trauma find ways to feel safe in their lives.

How does trauma therapy work?

Trauma therapy will often require individuals to walk through their experiences in a controlled and compassionate setting (unless the client has a dissociative disorder) so that they can fully process the event, an activity that will allow them to move on from what happened and feel safe again. Thriveworks Attleboro therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.

Is trauma therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks trauma counseling in Attleboro, MA is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does trauma therapy last?

If an individual is working through a single event that occurred during adulthood, they may only need a few months of treatment. However, in instances of childhood trauma or repeated traumatic events, therapy may continue over the course of years. Trauma therapy usually ends when the client believes they have met their therapeutic goals, however long that takes to occur. Thriveworks therapists in Attleboro, MA will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
