Trauma Therapy
Most people will experience some type of trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, sexual and/or physical abuse, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster. There can be many other traumas that we experience that we may forget about or not even realize they are traumatic like having parents who have substance abuse problems, abandonment, experiencing a bad break up, even losing a pet.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance, and assistance of a therapist who has training and experience working with trauma is fundamental to healing. Research has proven psychotherapy to be the most effective form of treatment for trauma. Most commonly, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used in treating trauma.
