My main approach for PTSD/trauma therapy is to build rapport with my client.
I use tools like identifying triggers and utilizing positive coping strategies.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when they can openly express emotion and identify their own progress in treatment.
Clients can identify support groups in their area and participate in their personal time.
To prepare for treatment, a client should identify clear goals for their time in therapy.
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 Waco therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.
Thriveworks trauma counseling in Waco, TX 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 Waco, TX will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
Whether you suffer from the negative effects of trauma or from PTSD, the therapists at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry in Waco, TX are ready and willing to use their expertise to help you work through your trauma by cultivating a safe environment of trust and support, either in online sessions or in-person therapy sessions.
They will work with you to create a treatment plan that works best for you and your personal set of symptoms, so that you can feel safe and in-control again as you move through life.
The goal of trauma therapy is to process a traumatic event or events, working through the feelings those memories bring up and how the event still affects one’s life in order to reduce the negative effects of trauma. This process uses a variety of techniques to treat the symptoms and effects of trauma, such as:
PTSD therapy and trauma therapy are essentially the same in terms of treatment. However, they are two different concepts. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a diagnosable disorder caused by experiencing a traumatic event.
Trauma is a pervasive issue that is caused by experiencing one or more traumatic experiences over time. These events have lasting negative effects on one’s functioning and mental, physical, social, and emotional well-being. It is not a diagnosable problem, as is it not a mental disorder, but more like an experience that then causes certain symptoms like anxiety,
If you believe that your past trauma or PTSD symptoms are interfering with your life, consider seeking help from a mental health professional. Symptoms of trauma and PTSD that can indicate a need for mental health care may include:
Generally, though, if someone experiences a traumatic event and does not feel better after two weeks, they should consider seeing a trauma therapist for treatment. No one wants to experience trauma, but when those events begin to change how you live your life and start negatively impacting your mental health, trauma-informed treatment is the best way to reduce your symptoms.
Online therapy has many advantages. Unlike in-person therapy, online therapy requires no commute. This can save people travel time, gas money, even money spent on childcare, as it can be done from, or whatever safe place you have that is equipped with WiFi.
Thriveworks offers online trauma therapy options to those who prefer more easily-accessible therapy, so that you don’t have to worry about leaving the comfort of your home—you can focus the time and energy you have solely on bettering yourself.
Thriveworks Waco offers experienced trauma therapists that are eager to help you process your trauma and work through your symptoms so that you can have the comfort, safety, and confidence you deserve in your life.
