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

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is to use a mixture of CBT, motivational interviewing, and TF-CBT. I find the best benefit in using a mixture of approaches because none are one-size-fits-all. I find different approaches fit various levels of trauma differently.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy:

  • Relaxation
  • Emotional regulation
  • Identifying triggers
  • Healthy coping skills

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress when they start verbalizing a reduction in anxiety when faced with trauma triggers.

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

Clients can practice their emotional regulation and relaxation skills with daily minor stressors to start getting in the habit of using positive replacements.

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

To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, one should come with the mindset that their trauma does not define them and that they are going to learn to be bigger than their trauma.

So lucky to live at a time when therapy is more acceptable and encouraged rather than back in the day. I wish I would’ve reached out sooner. After a traumatic event, my life was spinning out of control. I now feel like I’m more equipped to manage the issues that arise.
