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 life.

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 West Bloomfield Township 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 West Bloomfield Township, MI 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 West Bloomfield Township, MI will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.

Need more help deciding?

A traumatic event is simply one that has a psychological impact on an individual. These distressing events can change life as you know it, as it can trigger troubling symptoms of PTSD including nightmares, flashbacks, a sense of impending doom, panic attacks and more. Examples of trauma include physical or emotional abuse, the loss of a loved one, and military combat. These events are known to have listing impacts on those who experienced or witnessed them.

“Traumatic events, by definition, overwhelm our ability to cope. When the mind becomes flooded with emotion, a circuit breaker is thrown that allows us to survive the experience fairly intact, that is, without becoming psychotic or frying out one of the brain centers… We cannot heal until we move through that trauma, including all the feelings of the event.” –Susan Pease Banitt

After one experiences trauma, they might try to resume the life they once knew, but find it difficult—as they struggle with disinterest in work, loved ones, and other activities they used to enjoy. In other instances, one might be too preoccupied with memories of their trauma to find joy in their day to day life anymore. This makes seeking treatment post-trauma crucial to an individual’s health, wellbeing, and future.
