My go-to approaches for treating trauma are exposure therapy techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I find the best benefit in CBT because it helps change thinking patterns and negative beliefs. It also helps with understanding how thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected. Exposure therapy and creating an exposure hierarchy plan are also effective in reducing symptoms or triggers.
I teach the following tools in trauma therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in trauma therapy when they have some coping skills that are working for them to manage their symptoms.
Clients can supplement their time in trauma therapy through journaling, deep breathing, keeping a thought/mood log, de-catastrophizing exercises, reaching out to informal supports, and utilizing other coping skills learned in therapy. There are also CBT apps that can be used for exercises.
To prepare for your first trauma therapy session, clients can begin to track their triggers. This will help with determining current behaviors and thought patterns. This will also help with creating a treatment plan.
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.
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 West Bloomfield therapists will also help clients learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their symptoms outside of therapy.
Thriveworks trauma counseling in West Bloomfield, MI is conducted both in person and online through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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 West Bloomfield, MI will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
After one experiences trauma, they might try to resume the life they once knew, but find it difficult—as they struggle with disinterest in work, loved ones, and other activities they used to enjoy. In other instances, one might be too preoccupied with memories of their trauma to find joy in their day to day life anymore. This makes seeking treatment post-trauma crucial to an individual’s health, wellbeing, and future.
