My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is cognitive processing therapy because it allows the client and therapist to examine the trauma and assess the client's feelings and thoughts around the trauma.
I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy: learning about harmful thinking and how to respond to it, how exposure therapy can help with nightmares and flashbacks, and mindfulness.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when they are experiencing fewer flashbacks, nightmares, and negative behaviors related to the trauma.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy through mindful meditation, being more active in their lives, and positive thinking techniques.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can read about the type of therapy that they will be receiving, prepare questions for the therapist, and be open and honest.
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.
If you’ve experienced trauma, the good news is that there is hope to process these events and to find a full and lasting recovery! At Thriveworks Roanoke Counseling we specialize in treating trauma, and our team of passionate and highly trained trauma therapists can come along side you and equip you with the tools you need to heal. Reach out today to get started.
Trauma may be caused by involvement in any event we perceive as deeply disturbing. The following list, while far from exhaustive, covers experiences that are often common in our day-to-day lives, but can potentially be traumatic:
Trauma brings with it a variety of symptoms, and a Thriveworks Roanoke therapist can help you to identify the symptoms in your life and work with you eliminate these negative effects. Among the common symptoms of trauma are physical changes such as headaches, stomach problems, and shortness of breath, a change in activity levels or sensitivity to bright light or loud noises. Being present in large crowds or an unfamiliar place causing a feeling of always being on the alert can also be the result of trauma in your life. Some people find it difficult or impossible to relax, often saying it even hurts to do so.
These symptoms often lead to sleep difficulties including inability to fall or stay asleep, kicking, night sweats, nightmares, frequent waking often as though being startled awake. Similarly, psychological symptoms may involve mood swings, memory problems, emotional pain, substance abuse or addiction (self-medicating), a noticeable change in personal hygiene or housekeeping behavior, taking exceptional risks, isolating, wondering “what’s the point”, flashbacks, aggression, self-mutilation or suicidal thoughts.
Healing from trauma improves our ability to move through future threatening situations with greater ease and can create a natural resilience to stress. We have the power to change the course of our responses, to be proactive rather than merely continuing to react to and be victimized by them. With proper interventions, you have the hope to recover.
While everyone heals at their own rate, not everyone can heal on their own. If your symptoms interfere with your normal daily functions, or if your relationships are being negatively impacted, it’s time to reach out to a professional, and we at Thriveworks Roanoke Trauma Therapy are here to provide you the professional help you need, right away. Call us today and you can likely see a counselor within the week! We’re excited to help you on your road to recovery.
