What is involved in Trauma Therapy?
It is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It encompasses various therapeutic approaches tailored to address the unique effects of trauma on a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Some of the goals of Trauma Therapy include:
- Reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress (e.g., flashbacks, nightmares).
- Help individuals regain a sense of control and safety.
- Foster emotional regulation and resilience.
- Enhance overall mental health and well-being.
Trauma therapy can be beneficial for anyone who has experienced trauma, whether from a single event or ongoing circumstances.
What are the key components of Trauma Therapy?
Understanding your Trauma: Therapists help clients understand what trauma is, its effects, and how it impacts thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and body sensations.
Creating Safety: Establishing a safe therapeutic environment for you is crucial. Clients are encouraged to share their experiences at their own pace. We encourage you to talk to your therapist about what a safe space means for you.
Processing the Trauma: Different modalities are used to help clients process their trauma. At Rise and Reflect services our therapists use an integrative approach to help process trauma. We have therapist that use narrative and others that use somatic experiences to help process. For individuals where talk therapy can be difficult we also use creative outlets, such as expressive arts, to help you process your emotions.
Building Coping Skills: Therapists teach clients strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and other symptoms that may arise from trauma. We help you recognize how to work with your triggers and learn what your body and mind need to feel safe in the moment.
Integration and Healing: The goal is to help clients integrate their traumatic experiences into their lives in a healthier way, fostering resilience and a sense of empowerment.
Support Systems: Encouraging clients to seek and strengthen their support systems, including friends, family, and community resources.
