Common approaches to Trauma therapy

Amy Chase

Hear from Amy Chase, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)

View Amy Chase's profile

What is your go-to approach for PTSD/trauma therapy?

I find the best approach while working with people who have experienced traumatic events is to build a connection with you first. A supportive therapeutic relationship is crucial for trauma treatment.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

Psychoeducation is usually where I start when facilitating trauma work. It is important that we know how the brain works and why the symptoms are occurring. Negative thinking is common when someone is experiencing PTSD. I teach cognitive interventions to support the client. Lastly, prolonged exposure questions guide you to gradually approach trauma-related memories, feelings, and situations you may be avoiding.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress when they show a change in their demeanor, practice helpful skills outside of therapy, and self-report relief in their symptoms.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement PTSD/trauma therapy?

You will be taught many coping skills to manage intense emotions and reactions. It is important to practice these skills outside of our counseling time.

What should someone do to prepare for starting PTSD/trauma therapy?

It's important to ask your provider questions about trauma therapy. The client should be informed and comfortable.

Starting Trauma therapy

What is trauma therapy?

Trauma therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on treating the psychological impact of traumatic events on individuals. Trauma therapy helps people process and heal from their trauma by guiding them through their trauma in a compassionate and supportive way, allowing clients to feel the full scope of what happened to them and eventually move on from the event(s). This process helps people who have experienced trauma find ways to feel safe in their lives.

How does trauma therapy work?

Trauma therapy will often require individuals to walk through their experiences in a controlled and compassionate setting (unless the client has a dissociative disorder) so that they can fully process the event, an activity that will allow them to move on from what happened and feel safe again. Thriveworks Leominster therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.

Is trauma therapy conducted in person or online?

Thriveworks trauma counseling in Leominster, MA is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does trauma therapy last?

If an individual is working through a single event that occurred during adulthood, they may only need a few months of treatment. However, in instances of childhood trauma or repeated traumatic events, therapy may continue over the course of years. Trauma therapy usually ends when the client believes they have met their therapeutic goals, however long that takes to occur. Thriveworks therapists in Leominster, MA will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.

I was in great need of an in-person therapist. I've grown tired of being stuck in the zoom room for years now, like many people. Thankfully, I was able to schedule an appointment and get started at the local Thriveworks office. And I'm grateful for my therapist. I feel like I'm making great strides forward in a fraction of the time it took me to make similar progress with online therapy/counseling. Setting matters.
