Overcoming Trauma: The Power of Trauma Therapy and Self-Care

Trauma is a deeply distressing experience that can have long-lasting effects on a person's mental health and well-being. At Calm Again Counseling, we understand the profound impact that trauma can have on individuals, and we offer a range of practical tools and resources to help individuals overcome their trauma and find healing.

Don’t Let Your Trauma Control You

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common types of trauma therapy we offer. Through CBT, individuals learn to identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors that may be perpetuating their trauma. CBT can be particularly effective in helping individuals develop coping strategies for dealing with the aftermath of their trauma.

Another effective trauma therapy we offer is eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR uses eye movements to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the emotional distress associated with those memories. This approach is shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Self-Care Goes A Long Way

At Calm Again Counseling, we also believe in the power of self-care practices in promoting healing and well-being. We encourage individuals who have experienced trauma to engage in activities such as exercise, meditation, spending time in nature, and creative activities such as art or music. Journaling is another effective self-care practice we recommend, as it allows individuals to express their thoughts and feelings safely and privately.

A Strong Supporting Cast

We recognize the importance of a strong support system for individuals who have experienced trauma. At Calm Again Counseling, we provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to connect with others who have had similar experiences. We also offer access to resources and support services such as crisis hotlines, community organizations, and mental health professionals.

It is important to note that the healing process for individuals who have experienced trauma is unique to each individual. At Calm Again Counseling, we work closely with each client to develop a personalized approach to healing. Some individuals may benefit from a combination of trauma therapy, self-care practices, and medication, while others may find that one particular approach works best.
