Understanding Trauma and PTSD
Trauma is an emotional response to a distressing event or series of events that overwhelm an individual’s ability to cope. PTSD is a mental health condition that a person can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, characterized by intrusive memories, avoidance behaviors, adverse changes in mood and thinking, and heightened reactivity.
Common Causes of Trauma and PTSD
Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse and domestic violence.
Car accidents, natural disasters, or severe injuries.
Military personnel exposed to war or combat situations.
The unexpected death of a loved one.
Symptoms of PTSD
Recurrent, unwanted memories of the traumatic event, flashbacks, or nightmares.
Avoiding places, activities, or people that remind one of the trauma.
Persistent negative thoughts about oneself or the world, feelings of hopelessness, emotional numbness, or detachment from others.
Being easily startled, tense, or “on edge,” difficulty sleeping, or irritability.
Importance of Trauma and PTSD Recovery
Effective trauma and PTSD recovery is essential because untreated trauma can significantly impact an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical health. It can lead to depression, anxiety, substance use and abuse, and difficulty maintaining relationships and daily functioning. Recovery focuses on:
Alleviating the distressing symptoms of trauma and PTSD treatment.
Enhancing daily functioning of mental health professionals and overall mental health care professional well-being.
Developing coping skills to handle future stressors effectively.
Rebuilding trust and improving interpersonal connections.
Trauma and PTSD Recovery Strategies
At Sanctuary Mental Health & Wellness, we employ a variety of evidence-based strategies to support trauma and PTSD recovery. These strategies are integrated into personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s unique experiences and needs.
TF-CBT is cognitive therapy specifically designed to help individuals process and integrate traumatic experiences. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy with trauma-sensitive interventions to address the emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and psychological impacts of trauma.
EMDR is an effective cognitive processing therapy and behavioral therapy used for reducing the distress associated with traumatic memories. Cognitive processing therapy involves guided eye movements while recalling the traumatic event, helping to reprocess and integrate the memory in a less distressing way.
PE helps individuals confront their trauma-related thoughts and situations that they have been avoiding. Through repeated exposure, individuals learn to reduce their fear and anxiety related to the trauma.
Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, help individuals focus on the present moment and reduce stress. Relaxation techniques can alleviate physical symptoms of anxiety and promote overall well-being.
Connecting with others who have experienced similar traumas can provide emotional support and reduce feelings of isolation. Group therapy and support groups offer patients a safe space to share experiences and learn from others.
Holistic treatments, which focus on treatments such as yoga, acupuncture, and art therapy, address the mind-body connection and promote healing. These therapies can help individuals develop a new understanding of healthy coping mechanisms and improve emotional regulation.
In some cases, medication may be necessary to manage symptoms of PTSD and co-occurring conditions, such as medications such as depression and anxiety. Our medical team works closely with the therapist for each individual to determine the best medication regimen.
Trauma and PTSD can impact not only the current life of the individual but also their loved ones. Family therapy involves family members in the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery process, improving communication and providing support.
