Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Kelly Smith
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sometimes life is rough, sometimes you are the one who saw it, experienced it, or went through it. Most of these experiences we can think about, understand, and move on. But sometimes....there is that one ...(or more) which we can't just put down. It creeps into our dreams, it pushes into our heads when we drive by that spot, or look at that person who reminds us... It starts to take over our peace and impact our work, school, or relationships. When you have been through something hard that you cannot just let go and when you go home and others don't get it. It is time to reach out to someone who can help. It is possible to get this experience unstuck from your head, it is possible to turn things around. You can do things that you want to do rather than accepting that you are going to be damaged and struggle with certain things. You can let go of the anger, sleeplessness, and hypervigilance and connect with your family again and be happy. I offer four types of research-based therapies for trauma and PTSD: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF: CBT)

Thomas Hanna
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, NCC, CCTP, CCATP
Following a traumatic event, everyone experiences certain symptoms. It’s the sleepless nights, the sudden recollections that invade your memories, and the unexpected panic in situations that remind you of the event.
For many of us, that experience fades over time. With PTSD, something blocks that natural recovery. Rather than fading away, those reactions intensify.
It is this intensification that forms many of the symptoms of PTSD. These symptoms include:
- Sudden, unexpected memories
- Avoiding locations and events
- Difficulty sleeping
- Feeling "jumpy" or easily startled
- Feeling perpetually “in danger”
It is estimated that 70% of adults have experienced a traumatic event at some point in their life. Because trauma can be complex and overwhelming, it requires a knowledgable approach to treatment.
Trauma Therapy With Tempest Counseling
The goal of treating trauma is to identify what is “blocking” that ability to recover, overcome those barriers, and facilitate that process of healing.
To accomplish this, Tempest draws from three of the leading evidence-based treatments for trauma. These include Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), and Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE). All three of these are considered the gold standard for PTSD treatment.
Better still, these three approaches have proven to be highly effective online. Each has particular strengths, and some methods work better depending on the unique experiences of the client. At Tempest, we employ a combination of these three protocols, tailored to your specific needs.
This unique, individualized approach is what allows Tempest to be so effective in trauma treatment.
