What to Expect When You Begin Tacoma Trauma Therapy
Traumatic events can be heartbreaking and disorienting experiences. Seeking treatment as soon as possible is crucial when managing the complex emotions associated with the trauma. Everyone responds to trauma differently and at different rates. Nonetheless, trauma therapy can help you to heal at your own pace and in your own way. With a skilled trauma therapist and a robust support system, you can confront and work through the trauma and restore your confidence in the world.
We Provide a Safe Space to Process Traumatic Events
Finding a safe, secure, and comfortable space to explore the root of your trauma and the physical and emotional triggers that result from it is essential. Our professional therapists provide that space so you can process your trauma with complete understanding. Your trauma-informed therapist will help you acquire the skills to work through and cope with the lingering effects of the traumatic event, such as intrusive thoughts, hyper-arousal, flashbacks, and nightmares.
We’ll Find the Ideal Form of Treatment for Processing the Traumatic Event
Various Tacoma trauma therapies can be highly effective in helping people who have experienced different forms of trauma. Here are some of the trauma therapy treatments we provide
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-informed therapists help clients by creating an understanding of the impacts of trauma and assisting them in exploring and expressing emotions without judgment. Through trauma-informed therapy, you will become aware of your internal strengths and learn coping strategies to manage your psychological trauma in your own way.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy helps Tacoma clients to overcome trauma-related symptoms by utilizing bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements, to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. EMDR allows you to separate yourself from the trauma to decrease anxiety while increasing your positive self-beliefs. It will also help you to reconsider the emotions and beliefs associated with the traumatic event so you can view the experience in a new light.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy helps you with trauma by inducing a relaxed state of consciousness in which to explore traumatic memories and the feelings associated with the event. Hypnotherapy will also encourage you to reframe the traumatic experience and create new, positive associations, to reduce the intensity of your traumatic memories.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT is a form of talk therapy that helps Tacoma clients to heal from trauma by becoming familiar with how thoughts and beliefs influence your reactions. Through CPT, you will identify and challenge unhealthy thought patterns to understand better how the trauma has influenced your identity.
The Difference Between Trauma and PTSD
The difference between trauma and PTSD is that trauma is the psychological response to one or more traumatic experiences. Mental disorders like PTSD develop after a person experiences trauma and can be characterized by flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, hyperarousal, and relationship difficulty. While trauma can lead to PTSD, not everyone develops the disorder after experiencing a traumatic event.
Treating Trauma is Not a One-Size-Fits-All Solution
Trauma comes in multiple forms depending on the length of exposure and the severity of your experience. Fortunately, an individualized trauma-focused therapy treatment plan can improve your mental health if you’re experiencing one of the following forms of trauma.
Acute Trauma
Acute trauma is an anxiety disorder caused by a single, intense traumatic event such as serious injuries, natural disasters, domestic violence, sexual assault, or witnessing a traumatic event. It can cause physical reactions such as trembling, a rapid heart rate, and psychological distress. Time, coupled with Tacoma trauma therapy and possible medication, can reduce acute trauma symptoms and foster lasting healing.
Chronic Trauma
Chronic trauma results from long-term or repeated exposure to traumatic or life-threatening events such as combat service, first-response careers, prolonged or repeated physical or emotional abuse, neglect or abandonment, and exposure to toxic environments. It can negatively impact a person’s emotional and physical health, requiring specialized treatment to address the underlying issues of the traumatic experience.
Complex Trauma
Complex trauma is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) caused by enduring or repetitive traumatic experiences during early childhood. These traumatic experiences can be physical, emotional, or sexual, as well as the result of neglect or violence, including being a victim of multiple traumatic events, growing up in an abusive household, childhood neglect or abuse, growing up in a warzone, and living with someone who has posttraumatic stress disorder.
Don’t Allow Your Trauma to Go Untreated
If trauma goes untreated or is mistaken for another disorder like ADHD, it can manifest as future mental and physical health problems for Tacoma clients. Left untreated, the negative emotions caused by a traumatic event can become overwhelming, leading to insomnia, anxiety, depression, and chronic physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach problems, and fatigue. These symptoms can harm day-to-day functioning, resulting in job loss, weakened relationships, and lower self-esteem.
