What Is Trauma Therapy?
​
Trauma focused therapy can help you learn to manage challenging emotional responses caused by a traumatic event(s), chronic stress over time, or adverse childhood experiences. Trauma therapy is more than changing the way you think as it involves specific therapies.
You may be experiencing the psychological effects of trauma if you experienced a one-time event, repetitive, or multiple events, or been witness to events or even vicariously traumatized by hearing about others' experiences. Some symptoms can be feelings of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, substance/behaviour dependancies, difficulty regulating emotions, to name a few. You do not need a PTSD diagnosis to engage in trauma focused therapy.
For many clients there is an intense desire to feel well quickly and individuals can feel that the process is taking too long or they are not doing it “right”. Recovery is not defined by complete absence of thoughts or feelings about the traumatic experience(s) but being able to live with it in a way that it isn't in control of your life. In short, trauma therapy is a commitment of time, money, and requires your full engagement. Please feel free to book a 15 minute free phone consultation to discuss if trauma therapy at Flow Psychology Inc is a good fit for you and if we are a good fit for each other.
