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

My go-to approaches for helping people in therapy are acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and polyvagal approaches. I prefer these three because, when used together, they seem to treat the effects of trauma effectively. Utilizing these approaches allows for more targeted and real-time assistance.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I teach tools like emotional regulation, communication skills, boundary setting, and how to feel safe.

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

I see progress when there is a decrease in emotional reactivity surrounding the themes that brought the individual into therapy and movement toward their intended goal.

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

There are several podcasts, videos, and books that an individual can listen to or read in addition to practicing strategies that they have learned to supplement their time in therapy.

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

It would be helpful for someone starting therapy for trauma-related issues to know that, even though it may seem scary to talk about, your emotional experiences are valid.

Starting Trauma/PTSD therapy

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.

I have bounced around between counselors and therapists for a few years now. I found Thriveworks and Doc Hill and I'm very happy with my new team. I finally feel comfortable speaking to someone again without fear or judgment. He understands and truly wants to help.
