My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is cognitive therapy, which is often used along with exposure therapy. I find the best benefit in those therapies because they help you safely face both situations and memories that you find frightening so that you can learn to cope with them effectively.
I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy: breathing, validation, focusing on the five senses, cognitive challenging, mindfulness, and education on symptoms such as dissociation, arousal, and avoidance and their reasons.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they are allowing themselves to be more vulnerable, connecting with the outside world, expressing their emotions instead of minimizing them, facing their fears, becoming more aware of what they are feeling, they state releasing tension and welcoming touch like hugs and embraces from people they trust, and they demonstrate less reacting and more reflecting.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with yoga and meditation, journaling, remembering that their memories are memories and they are safe, talking with people they trust and not holding everything in, carrying an object that reminds them of the present, getting to know their triggers (smells, sounds, images, places, words), and most importantly being kind to themselves.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, I suggest that the client read about trauma, explore different types of treatments, write down their symptoms and any triggers that they are aware of, write down their goals for therapy, write what coping strategies they are currently utilizing, and taking note of who their support system is. I also ask clients to be open-minded and patient, since the first session is usually for the therapist to start getting to know the client and the reasons why they are seeking 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.
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.
