My approach to trauma therapy is to use trauma-informed CBT and mindfulness therapy. I prefer this modality because it empowers clients and teaches self-soothing skills.
I teach the following tools in trauma therapy: box breathing, mindfulness meditation, challenging negative thoughts, affirming positive thoughts, acceptance, and emotional distress tolerance.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when the severity of PTSD symptoms has lessened or gone away, client feedback indicates coping skills are being applied effectively, and the client is able to accept and cope with distress with heightened tolerance.
Clients can supplement their time in therapy by reading books on the topic, listening to podcasts, and spending time practicing tools for self-soothing.
To prepare for starting PTSD or trauma therapy, someone can be open to trying new ways of coping and approaching their emotional experience other than what they have done in the past.
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.
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 Boca Raton therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.
Thriveworks trauma counseling in Boca Raton, FL is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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 Boca Raton, FL will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
