Starting Trauma therapy

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

Symptoms of Trauma

Every person will react to a trauma differently. Whether it’s emotional, physical, sexual abuse, neglect, or long-term trauma, our brain responds differently in every situation. Thriveworks trauma counselors in Rock Hill understand all these complexities and how it might be affecting your life. Whatever your experience, goals, and fears, we can individualize each session, so it is best suited for you. With trauma, there is no one right way to heal. There are only forward steps, and that is what we will take in a Thriveworks Rock Hill trauma therapy session.

If you recognize some of these symptoms in yourself or a loved one, reaching out can help:

  • Recurrent, painful dreams
  • Flashbacks
  • Emotional numbness
  • Jittery/always on edge
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Hesitancy to open up to other people, even those you trusted before the trauma
  • Persistent fear, horror, anger, guilt, or shame
  • Diminished interest in activities you previously enjoy
  • Difficulty feeling positive emotions
  • A general feeling of detachment from the world or yourself
  • Continuous feeling of discomfort in stomach and gut

Trauma and/or PTSD can have a multitude of symptoms, and not all are listed here. The uniqueness of every trauma case can make it feel isolating. Know that you are never alone. A professional, trained counselor at Rock Hill’s trauma therapy can bridge the gap between your pain and your future by giving you the knowledge and skills you need to take the steps towards healing.

How Can Trauma Therapy Help?

Thriveworks Rock Hill trauma therapy will always practice a client-first mentality. You are the prime source of knowledge on yourself. Our job is to bring in the outside research and practices of the mental health field while providing a safe, nonjudgmental, empathetic space for you to heal. A few of our techniques that we might use in a trauma counseling session include:

  • Education on the symptoms of trauma
  • Practicing coping skills for when symptoms do flare up (ex: relaxation exercises, anger-management techniques, guided imagery, and more!)
  • Support in managing sleep, exercise, and diet. These are core components of a healthy lifestyle and crucial in the healing process
  • Work through any guilt, self-blame, or other negative emotions surrounding traumatic events. What happened to you is not your fault.
  • Address lingering fear and anxiety. Leaving painful emotions unaddressed will result in more pain further down the road.
  • Address any comorbid struggles such as anxiety or depression.
