Linda Marks
Counselor/Therapist, MSM
Listen to your body, follow your heart! When our hearts are wounded through trauma, neglect and deprivation, we lose touch with the heart's power. Depression, anxiety, fear of intimacy, addiction, stuckness may follow. Working through emotional issues at a body level allows for deep, lasting healing

Maryellen Newman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Working through trauma in therapy requires a specialized and sensitive approach that acknowledges the profound impact of traumatic experiences on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. Clinicians often utilize trauma-focused modalities, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to help clients process and reframe traumatic memories. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is foundational, allowing individuals to explore their trauma narratives at their own pace. Therapists may employ grounding techniques, mindfulness, and relaxation exercises to assist clients in managing overwhelming emotions associated with trauma. Psychoeducation about the effects of trauma on the brain and coping strategies is another component of therapy. The goal of trauma work is to empower individuals to integrate and make sense of their experiences, fostering resilience, healing, and a renewed sense of control over their lives.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S
The purpose of therapy for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is to assist individuals in recovering from the emotional and psychological effects of traumatic experiences. Various events, including accidents, abuse, violence, natural disasters, and witnessing traumatic events, can cause trauma. PTSD is a trauma-related disorder characterized by intrusive and distressing memories, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, negative mood and cognitive changes, and heightened arousal.
The selected therapeutic approach for trauma and PTSD may vary depending on the individual's specific requirements, the nature of the trauma, and their treatment objectives. Numerous clinicians may combine therapeutic approaches to develop a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan.
It is essential to recognize that trauma therapy can be emotionally taxing, as individuals may be required to confront distressing memories and emotions. Consequently, working with a qualified and experienced trauma therapist who can provide a secure and supportive environment throughout the recovery process is crucial.
Suppose you or someone you know is experiencing trauma or PTSD symptoms. In that case, it is strongly recommended that you seek assistance from a mental health professional trained in trauma therapy to begin the healing and recovery process.
