Common approaches to Trauma/PTSD therapy

Aldeena McAlister

Hear from Aldeena McAlister, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

View Aldeena McAlister's profile

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

My go-to approach for treating PTSD is approaching the traumatic event as something that happened in the past as a part of the client's timeline. It's not what happens to you, it's what you believe about yourself in response to what happens to you. By working with the belief, healing can occur. If we focus on the event, nothing can be changed, because we can't change the past.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I teach the following tools in trauma therapy:

  • When you think about this event, what do you believe about yourself?
  • What would you prefer to believe? What do you need to get there?
  • Pay attention to the body, it has the answers you are looking for.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in trauma counseling when they are compassionate toward that part of themselves that lived through the experience.

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

Clients can supplement their time in trauma counseling by continuing to implement compassionate inquiry. This is a process of being curious rather than critical toward themselves.

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

To prepare for your first session, you can simply show up with an open mind.

★☆☆☆☆
I love my Dr Odu-Onikosi. But I have had several very bad experiences with the appt makers and supervisors over the appt making ( if there are any supervisors ....as no one has ever called me back ) The mis information they provide is gross and straight up not correct. You are probably losing patients over this as if I didn't like my Dr so much this second instance would have made me stop using Thrive for my needs all together.
