PTSD and trauma therapy is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on helping individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It can help address symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, and depression. By working with a trained therapist, you can gain insights into how trauma has affected your mind and body, develop healthier coping tools, and work towards reclaiming your sense of safety and control.

PTSD and trauma therapy might be right for you if you are experiencing persistent symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, or emotional numbness. If you’re struggling with daily functioning, relationships, or overall well-being due to past traumatic events, therapy can provide the tools and support needed to address these challenges. Even if you’re not in crisis, therapy can help you process unresolved trauma and improve your quality of life.

During a typical PTSD and trauma therapy session, you can expect a structured yet open discussion facilitated by your therapist. Sessions usually last approximately one hour and involve exploring your experiences and symptoms in a safe and supportive environment. The therapist will guide you in understanding how trauma has impacted you, help you develop coping strategies, and work towards healing. You may also receive homework assignments to work on between sessions to reinforce the skills and strategies discussed.

The duration of PTSD and trauma therapy varies depending on the complexity of the issues being addressed and your goals for therapy. Some individuals may see significant improvements in just a few sessions, while others may require several months or longer of ongoing therapy. Typically, therapy involves weekly or bi-weekly sessions, with the duration tailored to your specific needs and progress.
