My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is to develop a comprehensive set of skills that address a variety of symptoms. Clients will learn and utilize DBT emotional regulation skills, self-soothing, grounding, mindfulness, and deep breathing in order to reduce emotional and physiological stress, thought replacement for intrusive thoughts, and narrative therapy tools like trauma narrative and recovery narrative to address the trauma story. I also provide a safe space for individuals to express traumatic grief and process their thoughts and feelings when they are ready.
I teach a method of deep breathing called 4 square breathing, impart mindfulness skills, encourage the use of 12-minute meditations and other examples of meditations that address stress and relaxation, and encourage exercise and yoga outside of therapy sessions. I teach DBT emotional regulation and self-soothing skills from a book PDF that I provide clients—skills utilizing the five senses for grounding oneself in the present moment. I also work with clients to learn and understand how to use thought replacement, reframing, and narrative techniques.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they have communicated developing a practice that reduces symptoms. When clients are able to commit to not just therapy but using practices outside of therapy, their symptoms will improve.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy with exercise, yoga, meditation, deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, and contemplative practices like walking, swimming, golf, or artwork.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can develop a list of examples of situations where their symptoms are increased.
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 Quincy therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.

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 Quincy, MA will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
