My therapy is trauma-focused. I have been trained in the first part of EMDR, but have not as yet completed the whole training. Trauma is so prevalent in our society, and it's important to at least have some understanding of how it affects the person and all those they interact with.
I teach body/feeling awareness, grounding, trauma-focused therapy, and EMDR.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when he/she can talk about the trauma-causing incident(s) without emotional dysregulation. Nightmares and hypervigilance decrease or stop, disassociation decreases, and their everyday functioning improves.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with good nutrition, exercise, and quality sleep. Also, using their self-regulation tools and taking any medications prescribed consistently.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can use their coping skills, be prepared to talk about it on whatever level they feel comfortable with, and have a safe supportive environment.
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.
