What Counts as Trauma?

Trauma can stem from a wide range of experiences, including accidents, loss of a loved one, abuse, or prolonged stress. Symptoms may include anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting others, or heightened reactivity. Because trauma affects everyone differently, a trauma therapist must work to understand your unique experience rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

How Trauma Therapy Supports Healing

Trauma therapy begins with building a sense of safety and trust. Your therapist will work with you at a comfortable pace, developing rapport and teaching a few coping skills before exploring deeper. Treatment may include trauma-informed therapy methods like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for PTSD to reduce distress and improve emotional regulation.

In some cases, psychological testing may be used to better understand how trauma impacts your mood, behavior, and thought patterns. This allows for more targeted and effective treatment planning. You remain in control of the process, with your goals and responses guiding each session.
