Treating trauma requires a tailored approach. Empower your healing journey with knowledge about what are the best practices for trauma treatment.
Trauma is a response to an event or series of events that deeply distress or disturb an individual. This can range from witnessing a violent act to experiencing a natural disaster. The effects of trauma can last for a short time, or they can linger for years, deeply affecting one’s mental and physical well-being.
Psychoeducation in trauma treatment is a process of learning about trauma, its effects, and the steps toward healing and recovery.
When you understand what’s happening in your mind and body after a traumatic event, it can feel less intimidating. This kind of knowledge gives you the tools to navigate the recovery journey.
Recovery is not just about healing past wounds. It’s also about building resilience for the future. This means learning strategies to cope with stress, building strong relationships, and finding purpose and meaning in life.
A holistic and client-centered approach means looking at the whole person. Instead of focusing solely on the traumatic event, this approach sees you as a complete individual with thoughts, feelings, and experiences that go beyond the trauma.
Some benefits of utilizing a holistic and client-focused approach include:
The therapeutic alliance is a bond between you and your therapist. It’s a partnership where both work towards your healing. This alliance is more than just trust; it’s about collaboration, mutual respect, and shared goals.2
Our dedicated clinical team uses evidence-based treatments, coupled with holistic and experiential therapies, to provide you with a personalized healing journey. We emphasize creating safe, supportive environments to ensure that trust and collaboration thrive.
Evidence-based therapies are treatment methods proven to work through scientific research. These methods are backed by studies that show they can be effective in helping people deal with trauma.
DBT is a mix of CBT and strategies that help you be more aware of your thoughts and feelings. One big part of DBT is learning to be in the present moment. This means not getting stuck in past traumatic events or worrying about the future.
Trauma Focused Therapies are designed specifically to address trauma. One method is exposure therapy, where individuals revisit the traumatic event recurrently with the aim of reducing distress.4
South Shore Recovery offers a range of therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI), that can help with processing and reframing traumatic memories.
By focusing on resilience and growth, trauma treatment can help you not just survive but thrive.
