During trauma counseling, a therapist will work with an individual to help them process and heal from their traumatic experiences. The specific techniques used will depend on the individual’s needs and the type of trauma they have experienced. However, some common techniques used in trauma therapy include:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

This is a form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to feelings of depression.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

This is a therapeutic method that uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to help people process traumatic memories.

Prolonged Exposure (PE)

This is a type of therapy that involves gradually exposing an individual to the things that trigger their anxiety, in a controlled and safe environment, with the goal of helping them learn to manage their fears.

Group Therapy

Sometimes, people find it helpful to talk with others who have experienced similar traumas. Group therapy can provide a sense of community and support.

In addition to these techniques, Art therapy, music therapy, drama therapy and other expressive therapies can be used to help individuals express their feelings and work through their anxiety in a creative and non-verbal way.

How we can Help

It’s important to note that different people respond differently to different types of trauma therapy, so it’s important to work with a therapist or counselor to find the type of therapy that will be most effective for you. It’s also important to remember that healing from trauma can take time and it’s a process that may require patience and persistence.

  • Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) : This is a form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals understand and cope with the thoughts and feelings they are experiencing as a result of the traumatic event. The therapist will work with the individual to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to feelings of depression and anxiety related to the traumatic event.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): This is a therapeutic method that uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the distress associated with them.

  • Prolonged Exposure (PE): This type of therapy involves gradually exposing an individual to the things that trigger their anxiety related to the traumatic event, in a controlled and safe environment, with the goal of helping them learn to manage their fears.

  • Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) is a form of therapy that helps individuals to accept and make peace with their thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to change or control them.

  • Art therapy, music therapy, drama therapy and other expressive therapies can be used to help individuals express their feelings and work through their trauma in a creative and non-verbal way.

  • Mindfulness-based interventions: This type of therapy involves teaching individuals techniques to focus their attention on the present moment, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. This can help to reduce feelings of depression and increase overall well-being.

  • Supportive therapy: The therapist will provide a safe, non-judgmental and empathetic environment where the individual can talk about their feelings, and experiences without any fear or shame.
