Welcome To Love This Therapy: Trauma Informed Therapy
Trauma Informed Therapy In Surrey, BC
Thank you for taking the time to explore the range of therapeutic approaches we offer at Love This Therapy. We hope these brief and clear descriptions of modalities help you choose the ones that work best for your needs.
Let us dive into Trauma-Informed Therapy, which consists of compassionate, strength-based, therapeutic tools designed to helps us understand, recognize, and respond to the effects of all types of trauma.
What Is Trauma-Informed Therapy?
This trauma informed approach is not a specific treatment method. Instead, it’s an approach or lens to therapy that takes into account the pervasive nature of trauma. It recognizes the presence of trauma symptoms and acknowledges the role that trauma can play in people’s lives.
This type of trauma therapy understands that trauma can have lasting impacts on an individual’s mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Whether you are experiencing trauma from post traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, trauma related disorders or any other reason, this therapy approach sees individuals as more than their trauma, recognizing the resilience and strength that it takes to survive and cope.
How Does It Work?
When treating trauma and trauma related symptoms, the therapist creates a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your trauma narrative at your own pace. The focus is on understanding your experiences and fostering resilience, rather than dwelling on details of any past trauma.
After finding your sense of inner stability during therapy, you might be ready to directly engage and heal your traumatic memories with approaches such as Cognitive Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR Therapy) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
The therapist will guide you, through the teaching of trauma informed care and various coping mechanisms, to manage symptoms of trauma, help you to regain control over your life and mental health long term, and build your capacity for positive relationships and experiences.
