If an individual is working through a single event that occurred during adulthood, they may only need a few months of treatment.

How Does Trauma Therapy Work?
As we mentioned, trauma victims can develop a multitude of harmful symptoms, including difficulty sleeping, nightmares, panic attacks, social isolation, and feelings of hopelessness. These symptoms, as well as the traumatic event alone, can make one feel unhappy. The good news, though, is that there are professionals who dedicate their work to helping these individuals heal from their trauma. Here are a few important goals in trauma therapy:
- Better manage symptoms
- Acquire new coping skills
- Feel happy and hopeful about life again
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective form of treatment for trauma and PTSD. It allows one to correct harmful thinking patterns, offers them a safe space for talking through the traumatic experience, and provides them with the guidance and support needed to heal properly. Here are a few techniques your trauma therapist or psychologist at Thriveworks Boca Raton near Delray Beach might use to help you:
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): With EMDR, the individual recalls their trauma while they focus on something else such as the tapping of the therapist’s hands or a flashing light. The mission here is to get to a place where you can think positive thoughts when reminded of your trauma.
- Prolonged Exposure: Prolonged exposure can help you to confront triggers that bring back memories or symptoms of your trauma. Your trauma therapist or psychologist might first work on teaching you helpful breathing techniques to implement when you experience anxiety.
Your Boca Raton trauma therapists will create a treatment plan just for you: after they get to know you—your unique experience, your specific needs, and your personal goals for therapy—they will customize your plan. If you have witnessed a traumatic event, make sure you heal properly. Set up an appointment to work with a trauma therapist at Thriveworks Boca Raton in Palm Beach, FL.
