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

For individuals needing assistance with PTSD, I recommend connecting with a clinician who specializes in trauma work so that you better understand your coping response while also processing emotions and memories associated with the traumatic event. Trauma work can assist in learning tools and skills to engage in more adaptive ways of coping.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

In trauma work, one will learn to better understand their coping response while also processing emotions and memories associated with the traumatic event. Trauma work can assist in learning tools and skills to engage in more adaptive ways of coping.

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

It is evident that a client is making meaningful progress when they are able to utilize tools when thinking about the traumatic event or experiencing associated triggers to the event with a more adaptive coping response. Additionally, when one feels more grounded in sharing the event and its impact on them as a narrative without any associated overwhelming physiological responses.

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

Listen to the guidance of your clinician while also engaging in meditation, mindfulness, journaling, and self-compassionate exercises.

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

To prepare for your first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can simply show up and acknowledge their strength in coming to therapy to start this work to help themselves!

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.
