Trauma and PTSD
Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Through my years working at different mental health agencies within Los Angeles County and Orange County, trauma has been one of the most common issues clients have talked to me about. Trauma can influence the way somebody thinks or feels about themselves and the world around them. These incredibly stressful events often changes our behavior and impacts our ability to function. I am also trained and certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, and use a variety of other forms of evidence-based treatment as well.
A quick note about trauma-- these events don't have to be dramatically disturbing to have an impact on your mental health. Feel free to read up on this article, which explains the rising understanding about the wide spectrum of traumatic experiences: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/trauma-and-hope/201703/different-types-trauma-small-t-versus-large-t

Trauma and PTSD
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the effects of trauma. Some of us have trauma that affects our bodies, others are emotional and some are more spiritual. Boundary violations of any kind can lead to PTSD, whether they are big "T" traumas or small "t" traumas, our brain can process through the event(s), but sometimes it gets stuck, so EMDR can break the paralysis. We can get stuck in the left brain, right brain or amygdala and end up paralyzed. We use the eye movement to allow our three brains to calm down and listen to and soothe one another. Getting those three parts of your brain all active usually break the stranglehold of trauma.

Trauma and PTSD
Len Ramsay
Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Trauma comes in many varieties. In classical PTSD we focus on Abuse, and even then, on severe and dramatic episodes of abuse. A more nuanced and sophisticated approach looks also at "small t" trauma with the same level of respect and seriousness. Neglect is a part of this. Abandonment The history of failed treatments for Trauma is epic. I believe that Shame and Trauma are at the core of psychological distress.

Trauma and PTSD
COPE Psychological Center
Psychologist, PhD
Trauma and PTSD treatment are a core part of our practice. With most of our providers having trained in the VA Hospital, we believe trauma work is at the core of mental health treatment. We primarily utilize skills from Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure to help individuals cope with trauma and it's various components, including the hypervigilance, depression, intrusive thoughts, and avoidance.
