Exploration of life via psychodynamic theory and treatment by dialectical behavior therapy are what I find to be the best approaches to start healing PTSD and other trauma. Psychodynamic theory studies the past, like early life with caregivers, to better understand our present-day life choices. Dialectical behavioral therapy provides different ways to manage distress, learn to become less reactive and more calm, and adopt new views of ourselves, others, and the world.
Within dialectical behavioral therapy, I teach clients to process emotional pain and quiet fear. I may use coping tools such as engaging the senses to distract from overthinking, meditation, grounding skills to feel firmly rooted, and ways to respond with less intense anger or fear. Overall, I teach clients how to slow down and change their response from trigger to reaction. We repeat this practice over time, which often leaves clients feeling empowered and safe.
I know a client is recovering from PTSD when they say they have managed to change reactivity like great anger or fear and now feel more in control and at peace within their emotions.
It has been mentioned in literature that meditation and exercise are powerful ways to begin re-regulating (calming) the nervous system after one has encountered a threat that caused emotional wounding. I often suggest these tools, as well as ten minutes daily of deep breathing to decrease being alert and anxious.
When starting therapy, I suggest clients know that healing can take time and go easy on themselves while they learn new ways of coping and relating.
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 Red Bank therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.
Thriveworks trauma counseling in Red Bank, NJ 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 Red Bank, NJ will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
