One cannot exaggerate the significance of locating a therapist you feel relaxed with! It is always essential in counseling, but particularly when dealing with something as acute as trauma therapy, find a counselor with whom you feel secure. This individual doesn't have to be your best friend, but they need to be someone you feel is caring, intelligent, and won't judge you. Therapists know from studies that the most crucial factor in whether a person gets better over the course of therapy is the fit and the connection between a client and a therapist, so please take the time to discover someone who feels like a safe space for you.

There are a lot of diverse types of treatment for PTSD. At most offices, therapists offer several distinct kinds of therapy for PTSD, including Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), play therapy for kids, sand tray work (often an element of another kind of therapy), and Mindfulness training. Most therapists have attended a combination of trauma training to understand the subtle differences between the treatments and discover as much as possible about who reacts best to which treatment. But it would definitely take a book, not a simple blog post, to convey all of the information we've learned over the years. So instead, we try to offer you a quick picture of the treatments we offer in our offices for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Additional therapies exist for PTSD, including Somatic Experiencing (SE) for grown-ups and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) for more youthful clients. If we don't provide the treatment you want to try at our office, we do know of other therapists in the area we trust to accomplish them and are happy to offer you a referral if one of them is a better fit for your individual situation.
