When helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy I use CBT, person-centered therapy, and talk therapy. I find the best benefit in these approaches because they allow a client to be fully engaged in the process, explore their strengths, and heal confidently.
I teach the following tool in PTSD/trauma therapy:
Clients make meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they understand their trauma, identify and process their emotions, and practice healthy skills to heal that improve their behaviors.
Clients can use their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by incorporating self-care techniques, using healthy coping skills, communicating with their support system, and balancing their daily life stressors.
When preparing for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can let their support system know they will be in therapy, create a list of questions they may want to explore, take time to be present in sessions, and understand everyone is on their own journey and timeframe.
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.
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.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
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.
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.
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.
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.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
