TRAUMA THERAPY
PUT THE PAST AWAY
It’s time to move forward
Counseling provides a safe and supportive space for someone to process a trauma. By talking through the experience with a licensed professional, you can begin to understand and express the difficult emotions that often arise after a trauma. At R.E.S.T. Counseling Services, we can help you develop healthy coping mechanisms to manage overwhelming feelings like anxiety or anger. We can also guide you in reframing negative thoughts and self-beliefs that may stem from the trauma. Through this process, we will empower you to gradually regain control of your life and move forward from the experience.
TRAUMA THERAPY FAQs
Have you experienced a traumatic event that continues to impact your life? You’re not alone. Trauma can be incredibly difficult to process, but there is hope. Trauma therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and regaining control. This FAQ section will answer your questions about trauma therapy, what to expect, and how it can help you move forward.
What can I expect in trauma therapy?
Trauma therapy prioritizes safety and creating a trusting space with your therapist. You’ll explore the traumatic event at your own pace, focusing on processing emotions and developing coping skills to manage triggers and flashbacks. The therapist will guide you, not pressure you, to share details.
What are some different types of trauma therapy?
Several approaches exist. Some common ones include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thoughts, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address disturbing memories, and somatic therapy to explore the body’s connection to trauma.
How long does trauma therapy take?
The duration varies depending on the severity of the trauma and your individual needs. It could be a few months or longer. Be patient with yourself – healing takes time.
What are some signs I might benefit from trauma therapy?
Flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, anger issues, and difficulty trusting others are all potential signs. If trauma continues to significantly impact your daily life, therapy can be a powerful tool for recovery.
How do I find the right trauma therapist?
Look for therapists specializing in trauma treatment. Ask your doctor or mental health professional for recommendations. Consider factors like therapist qualifications, experience, and therapeutic approach that aligns with your needs.
