Trauma and PTSD
Sharon Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Trauma can deeply impact individuals, manifesting in various forms of distress and hindering their ability to lead fulfilling lives. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that offers hope and healing for those grappling with traumatic experiences. By engaging in bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, taps, or sounds, EMDR helps individuals process distressing memories and reframe negative beliefs associated with the trauma. Through this process, clients can experience a reduction in the emotional intensity of their memories and develop healthier coping mechanisms, empowering them to move forward with resilience and renewed strength. EMDR provides a safe and effective pathway towards healing, allowing individuals to reclaim agency over their lives and restore a sense of balance and well-being.

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.
