Trauma Therapy - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Post-traumatic disorder (PTSD) affects one in thirteen people in the US. In a single year, over 13 million people struggle with this condition.

It’s a condition that can be treated and with the right intervention, about 80% of PTSD sufferers recover significantly.

First of all, what is trauma?

Well-known physician Gabor Mate says “Trauma is not what happens to you, it’s what happens inside of you as a result of what happened to you.”

Whether you have directly experienced trauma or witnessed a traumatic event, the experience can leave an imprint on you that makes you vulnerable to mental conditions such as depression and anxiety.

It can be considered a human condition, that we are all born to experience trauma at some point in our lives. But some marginalized populations are more vulnerable to certain kinds of trauma than others, such as racism, poverty, sexual trauma, generational trauma, or immigration experience.

FAQ

  • Therapy for PTSD can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the severity of the trauma, the individual's readiness to engage in treatment, the type of therapy used, and the presence of any additional mental health conditions. Some individuals may start to experience improvements in symptoms within a few weeks or months of beginning therapy, while others may take longer to see significant progress.

  • Evidence-based therapies for PTSD, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), prolonged exposure therapy (PE), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), are effective in reducing symptoms over time. However, the pace of progress can vary from person to person.

  • Receiving therapy over the phone can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, it is essential to remember that teletherapy may not suit everyone. Some individuals may prefer face-to-face interaction or may have specific therapeutic needs better addressed in person. Ultimately, the effectiveness of telephone therapy depends on various factors, including the individual's comfort level with the format, the quality of the therapeutic relationship, and the therapist's skill in providing remote counseling.
