Trauma therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the resolution of traumatic experiences. Traumatic experiences can cause significant psychological distress and can have a lasting effect on your life.
There are many different types of trauma and trauma therapy. Some of the most common types of trauma include physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect. Sometimes, what may be traumatic for one person may have a different effect upon another person. People have different levels of resiliency.
You don't have to have experienced a traumatic event directly yourself. Witnessing a traumatic event can also affect you long after it is over. An example of this would be witnessing a bad car accident.
Trauma therapy can be used to address the effects of trauma that have occurred during any time in an individuals life, but one of the most common times that trauma therapy is used is when an individual has experienced trauma in their childhood. But Trauma therapy can be used to address the effects of trauma that have occurred during any time in an individuals life.
It can help an individual to understand the effects that the trauma has had on their life, and to resolve the trauma.
If you have experienced trauma, you may be reluctant to begin therapy. Often people feel that therapy will dig up painful experiences and re-traumatize them. That is completely understandable.
Therapy for trauma is careful, sensitive to your feelings, and is slow paced so that you do not re-traumatize yourself.
