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

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is to help them realize they can be safe in the present from the trauma they experienced in the past.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I use a variety of tools from trauma-informed therapy, such as ACT, somatic and mindfulness techniques, and grief/loss therapy.

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

I know a client is making progress when they can display a full range of emotions without losing control because they have learned how to effectively use coping skills that help them in their daily functioning.

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

Journaling is an important way to address negative thoughts and emotions. The client can begin the process of challenging those negative and traumatic thoughts and decide if they are still valid in the present.

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

To prepare for your first PTSD/trauma therapy session, be kind and patient with yourself. The impact of trauma can sometimes take a while to address, but you are worth the effort!

If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD.

Have you ever watched a really scary movie, and afterwards felt extremely jumpy?  A knock on the door, a creak in your floor—everything seems a little bit louder, more intense.  Imagine experiencing this feeling all the time: a never-ending constant state of fear.  That feeling is often what someone suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experiences daily.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: Signs and Symptoms

PTSD is a mental health condition that can arise after experiencing a traumatic event.  Symptoms of PTSD can vary depending on the person suffering through it.  However, symptoms typically include:

  • Hypervigilance
  • Mood changes
  • Loss of concentration
  • Flashbacks
  • Fear
  • Severe anxiety
  • Social isolation
  • Unwanted thoughts
  • Insomnia and other sleep disruptions

Symptoms don’t necessarily surface the day after an event takes place, instead it can take days, months, or years for symptoms to surface, which makes battling this illness a tough fight.

Risk Factors for PTSD

When thinking about PTSD, many people associate it with war veterans, and although many of them do suffer from this condition, there is a wide scope of individuals affected by the illness.  Some might include:

  • Victims of physical or sexual assault
  • Firefighters
  • Police officers
  • ER doctors
  • Individuals diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

These are only some of the examples of people who have heavy exposure to potential distress.  If you feel like you have lived through or witnessed a traumatic event and it has left you feeling fearful and damaged, help is out there.
