Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy is a type of psychological treatment that aims to help individuals who have experienced trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or a natural disaster. Trauma can have a significant impact on a person's mental and emotional health, and can lead to a range of mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety.

Trauma therapy typically involves working with a trained therapist in a safe and supportive environment. The therapist may use a variety of techniques, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness based approaches, and mind-body somatic techniques, to help the individual process and resolve their traumatic experiences.

One of the main goals of trauma therapy is to help individuals develop coping skills and strategies to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being. This may involve helping the individual identify and address negative thought patterns and behaviours, develop healthy ways of coping with stress, and build a support network of friends and loved ones.

It's important to note that trauma therapy can be a challenging and emotionally intense process, and it's natural to feel hesitant or unsure about starting treatment. However, with the right therapist and treatment plan, trauma therapy can be a powerful tool for healing and improving quality of life.

Our approach is based on Trauma Informed Therapy which is a treatment approach that recognizes the impact of trauma on an individual's mental health and well-being. It is based on the understanding that trauma can significantly affect a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and that traditional therapy approaches may not always be effective in addressing these issues.
