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

CBT, mindfulness, and narrative techniques are approaches for helping people who have experienced trauma in their lives. These techniques can allow clients to feel heard in a safe space, express and process their thoughts and emotions, and learn tools that provide symptom relief.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

It is important to learn grounding exercises, cognitive challenging, and healthy coping skills, to name some, for symptom relief and to process and address the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that resulted from traumatic events.

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

Clients who are making progress in PTSD/trauma therapy start feeling more hopeful about their future. They are able to relax more, be present in the moment, and feel less distress about their trauma.

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

Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with exercise, yoga, and social engagement.

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

Clients can create a list of their current areas of concerns and things they would like to achieve in therapy.

Starting Trauma therapy in Greenville

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

Trauma Counseling – Therapists and Counselors in Greenville, SC

Trauma is an emotional, and often physical response, to a terrible or tragic experience. While the immediate effects of the event (shock and denial) may be short-lived, the long-term effects may significantly impact a person’s ability to return to their normal level of functioning after a traumatic event occurs. These feelings are a normal response to extremely stressful and negative circumstances, and they can be debilitating when left untreated.

If you are suffering as a result of trauma, please reach out for help. Thriveworks Greenville is here and we can get started this very week. Contact us today to get started.

How Does Trauma Affect the Brain?

Severe trauma can have lasting effects on the part of the brain that regulates our emotional responses. Trauma can have varying effects, depending on the age or stage of development of a person. Your body’s sensory processing ability comes from your brain. The memory of a traumatic experience can be triggered by any of the five senses – taste, touch, sound, sight, and smell. As a result, when you least expect it, a noise, scent, or image can trigger overwhelming feelings of fear and can cause someone to re-live a traumatic event.

How Does Trauma Affect the Body?

The negative effects of trauma are not limited to the brain. There are many physical signs of trauma, including a racing heartbeat, deep or heavy breathing, restlessness, lethargy, anxiety or panic attacks, headache, sleeplessness, and fatigue. Trauma can also impact your emotions by stirring up feelings of anger, fear, sadness, flashbacks, or an inability to regulate one’s emotions.

Austin is a great listener and has some very valuable and useful insights. When I first started with him I thought he might be too young, but he is wise WELL beyond his years. As much life I've lived and experience gained, I take notes when we talk.

I appreciate how easy it was for me to find providers in my area and how easy it was to scan through their info quickly to find the right fit. I also appreciated how the onboarding process encouraged me to take a second look at the policies because I would typically agree without reading.
