Common approaches to Trauma/PTSD therapy

Samantha Robinson

Hear from Samantha Robinson, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

View Samantha Robinson's profile

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

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is centered on evidence-based treatments that are tailored to the unique needs of the client. I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy techniques such as cognitive processing and prolonged exposure. These therapies have been shown to be effective in helping individuals process and integrate experiences, reducing symptoms of PTSD, and improving overall functioning.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy:

  • Cognitive processing – which helps individuals learn how to modify and challenge unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma.
  • Prolonged exposure therapy – which involves gradually approaching trauma-related memories, feelings, and situations to learn how to best manage them and that, in many cases, there is no danger that needs to be avoided.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy – which focuses on the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and targets changing patterns that lead to difficulties in functioning.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when:

  • There is a reduction in symptoms.
  • There is improved functioning, seen through the client showing better performance at work, in social situations, and in daily activities.
  • There is increased emotional regulation indicated by the ability to manage and express emotions in a healthier way.
  • There are positive changes in thinking indicated by a shift in perspectives regarding the trauma and their worldview.
  • Enhanced coping skills are developed to effectively handle stress and triggers.

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

Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with various activities such as journaling, mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga, listening to or creating music, regular physical exercise, and spending time with supportive friends and family.

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

To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can learn about PTSD and trauma to understand their symptoms and the therapy process; set realistic expectations by understanding that therapy is a process that takes time and effort; compile any relevant medical, psychiatric, or therapy records; consider what they’re comfortable sharing; remember that it’s okay to go at their own pace; and stay open-minded to explore different therapy techniques.

Starting Trauma/PTSD therapy in Missouri City

What is PTSD/trauma therapy?

At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.

How does PTSD/trauma therapy work?

Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.

Symptoms of PTSD

The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:

  • Flashbacks and distressing memories of the traumatic event
  • Nightmares and sleep disturbances
  • Intense anxiety and irritability
  • Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
  • Negative changes in mood and thought patterns
  • Increased arousal, like difficulty concentrating or exaggerated startle response

How do you overcome PTSD triggers?

The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.

What type of therapist is best for PTSD?

In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.

Is PTSD/trauma therapy conducted in person or online?

PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long should you go to therapy for PTSD?

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. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.

How successful is therapy for PTSD?

The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
