Treating Trauma with Psychotherapy

Treating Physical, Emotional or Mental Injury

When an individual is subjected to a distressing or disturbing experience resulting in physical, emotional or mental injury, this is what we define as trauma. Trauma can stem from any experience that is unwelcome or unexpected and can have a life altering impact on the individual concerned. Each individual will process traumatic experiences in their own way.

Through psychotherapy and counselling, the trauma you are suffering can become easier to deal with and can eventually become part of your past instead of part of who you are now.

Every instance of trauma is unique and this is why psychotherapy can be so effective in dealing with the resulting emotions. Taking the time to talk, to discuss your thoughts and feelings allows for a reframing of the traumatic event or shock.
