Common approaches to Trauma/PTSD therapy

Hear from Christal Nelson, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)

View Christal Nelson's profile

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

My go-to approach for assisting others with PTSD/trauma is trauma-focused CBT and EMDR. The benefit of EMDR is watching the client's triggers to trauma decrease within a few sessions.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy: use of coping skills, deep breathing, tapping, bilateral stimulation, and guided imagery.

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

I know the client is making meaningful progress when their triggers to trauma decrease and the narrative formed during the trauma changes from victim to an empowered survivor.

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

Clients can supplement their time outside of therapy with the homework I send and/or assign them.

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

To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can practice expressing what they are and aren't comfortable with in sharing with the therapist. The sessions move at the pace of the client, not the therapist.
