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

When working with clients who are seeking treatment for trauma or PTSD, my approach is client-centered and focuses on helping the client be able to move forward from the trauma in order to have a healthy and happier life. Many clients who seek counseling for PTSD and trauma do so because the trauma has kept them stuck emotionally and they are having a difficult time moving forward in at least one aspect of their life.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

When working with clients who are seeking counseling for PTSD and trauma, my approach focuses primarily on being able to process trauma as well as using CBT approaches and mindfulness strategies to help manage intense emotions, as they often present with anxiety symptoms as well.

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

When a client is making meaningful progress with treatment for PTSD and trauma, they can typically acknowledge feeling more in control over their intrusive thoughts, are able to ground themselves emotionally, and experience less anxiety on a regular basis. The client would also note that they are able to redirect their thoughts and are able to work on having more peace in their lives. The trauma is also no longer causing them to feel stuck.

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

Clients who are in counseling to address PTSD and trauma can supplement their time in therapy by engaging in activities that help them feel a sense of calm and rest as well. Being able to journal, engage in mindfulness activities, as well as seek support from their loved ones if they are experiencing emotional discomfort is also encouraged.

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

To prepare for their first session, someone should identify goals they would want to work on as well as recognize that working through trauma is a process and can take time. Healing is a process; however, it is worth it for anyone who is seeking counseling.

★★★☆☆
I tried to call billing; I missed an evening telehealth appointment because of a widespread power outage from the massive storms of 1/9/2024. Offshore personnel had no idea what I was talking about; they said they were in the Phillippines, and in addition the language barrier was quite severe. Health professionals here are wonderful to work with; however, technical or financial issues are difficult to straighten out. I gave up and will just deal with the treating persons here.
