Trauma therapy FAQs

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 Atlanta 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 Atlanta, GA 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 Atlanta, GA will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.

PTSD and Trauma Therapy in Atlanta, GA—Trauma Therapists, Counselors

Trauma comes with excruciating pain—when you first experience it and for many years to follow. A traumatic experience is one that is deeply disturbing or distressing. Examples include the loss of a close friend or family member, physical or mental abuse, natural disasters, and other near-death experiences. If you encounter a traumatic experience, you will likely feel sad, angry, fearful, confused, and other difficult emotions. On top of that, you might develop PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, especially if you fail to process your trauma properly.

Traumatic experiences stick with us because they physically alter our brains. After we experience trauma, our brain enters a state of hyperarousal. It is constantly looking out for threats, especially those that match your previous trauma. That’s where those “triggers” you hear about come in. This hypervigilance is but one of many long-term effects of trauma. It also doubles as a symptom of PTSD.

There is good news. If you are on edge, unhappy, or otherwise affected by trauma, you can receive the right help to work through it and live better. Trauma therapists specialize in helping people just like you. If you are in the Atlanta, GA area, consider working with a trauma therapist or PTSD therapist at Thriveworks Atlanta. Just call (678) 804-7374 to speak with a member of our scheduling team and get all set up. Keep in mind that in addition to traditional in-person therapy sessions, we offer online counseling too!

Healing from Trauma: Do I Need Help?

As we mentioned earlier, trauma stays with us… unless we intentionally address it, process it, and allow ourselves to move forward. This recovery process involves opening up about your experience as well as how it makes you feel. This can sound intimidating, scary even, but talking about your trauma is crucial to healing. Talking to a friend or family member can be helpful, but talking with a mental health professional is multibeneficial.

Trauma therapists and PTSD therapists have skills, training, and experience specific to trauma and helping people through their trauma. The trauma specialists at Thriveworks Atlanta will provide you with an unbiased, nonjudgmental space to open up. They will also present you with valuable tools for better managing your trauma symptoms. And, perhaps most importantly, they will provide you with perpetual support throughout the process. While trauma isn’t often resolved easily or quickly, it is possible. And we want to help you do it.

What Is Trauma Therapy? How Can It Help?

Trauma therapy is an effective approach to treatment for those who have had traumatic experiences. As we’ve touched on previously, trauma therapy will involve opening up to a trauma specialist about your experience. Your trauma therapist will listen closely and then design a personalized treatment plan to best meet your needs. This plan might involve several therapeutic techniques, but your therapist will have the following goals in mind for you:

  1. Alleviate or better manage your symptoms of trauma/PTSD
  2. Shift your focus from the past to the present
  3. Steadily improve daily functioning
  4. Reclaim power over one’s life

These are big, important goals that will ultimately help you process your trauma and get back to living the life you know and love. You might even have additional goals to add to the list. In any case, the Thriveworks Atlanta PTSD therapists and counselors are happy to walk with you on your journey. They understand just how debilitating trauma can be. They don’t want you to live in the past—they will help you look hopefully to your future.

As a teacher, my wife has been having a rough go with the start of the new school year. She had a video she posted to her close friends yesterday about if they were going through similar if they needed to talk to her, feel free to reach out because sometimes you just need someone to talk to. While our communication between the two of us is great, the heart of the matter she was getting at and offering for her friends resonated as I watched her say it and resonated further with my experience today. Even though today was mostly about getting things set up for a baseline, it felt like a positive experience and movement in a better, more positive direction.
