TRAUMA & PTSD COUNSELING

Facing the demands and challenges of life can be overwhelming, especially when you’ve recently experienced a traumatic event.
Facing the demands and challenges of life can be overwhelming, especially when you’ve recently experienced a traumatic event. Psychological trauma, whether from your childhood or adult life, is at the root of numerous emotional disturbances. Below are some ways in which trauma can impact mental health:
Trauma can trigger intense feelings of fear, anxiety, and panic. Individuals who have experienced trauma may develop anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or specific phobias, as a result of the trauma.
Anxiety & Panic Disorders
Trauma can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or experiencing restful sleep. Nightmares and flashbacks related to the traumatic event can also interfere with sleep quality.
Sleep Disturbances
Trauma can also increase the risk of developing depression. Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, guilt, and worthlessness may arise as a result of traumatic experiences. Depression can affect mood, energy levels, motivation, and overall functioning.
Depression
Trauma can impact interpersonal relationships, leading to difficulties in trust, communication, and intimacy. Individuals who have experienced trauma may struggle with forming and maintaining healthy relationships.
Relationship Challenges
Some individuals may turn to substance abuse as a way to cope with the emotional pain and distress related to trauma. Substance abuse can further exacerbate mental health issues and lead to addiction.
Substance abuse
Trauma can disrupt an individual's ability to regulate emotions effectively. Mood swings, anger outbursts, emotional numbness, and heightened sensitivity to triggers are common responses to trauma.
emotional dysregulation
Trauma survivors may experience dissociation, a coping mechanism that involves disconnecting from thoughts, feelings, memories, or identity as a way to protect themselves from overwhelming emotions. Dissociation can result in feelings of detachment, memory lapses, and a sense of being disconnected from reality.
Dissociation
Trauma can manifest in physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach issues, muscle tension, and chronic pain. The mind-body connection means that emotional trauma can have physical repercussions on health.

Although some traumatic experiences such as rape, combat experiences, or loss of a loved one can be very painful to think about or visualize, the therapy rapidly moves clients beyond the place where they are stuck in these experiences toward growth and positive changes.
The process is very straightforward, using relaxing eye movements and a technique called Voluntary Memory/Image Replacement to change the way in which the negative images are stored in the brain. The treatment is grounded in well-established psychotherapy techniques, and the end result is that traumas and difficult life experiences will no longer trigger strong emotions or physical reactions. Importantly, clients do not even have to talk about their traumas or difficult life experiences with the therapist to achieve recovery.
How ART Works: ART is unique. ART focuses on eliminating distressful images tied to traumas while virtually all other therapies focus on cognitions. By eliminating the images and the negative sensations that accompany them,ART can quickly resolve the trauma. One of ART’s key aspects is that the client does not have to share any details of the presenting problem. During the procedure, the ART therapist guides the client to allow them to find their own solution. There are three requirements for a successful ART Session. The client must be able to move their eyes left and right comfortably. They need to be able to hold a thought or image. And they need to be motivated. ART’s very specific and directive approach can achieve rapid recovery from symptoms and reactions that may have been present for many years. ART combines long respected, sound treatment practices with safe and effective methods validated by scientific research studies conducted by the University of South Florida as well as others. The USF studies showed that between one and five sessions resolved the issues researched issues researched.
Faster Progress
An intensive approach allows for more sessions in a shorter period of time, which can lead to a faster resolution of trauma symptoms. One intensive session is the equivalent of months of therapy.
Increased Accountability
An intensive approach can increase the accountability of both the therapist and the client, helping to ensure that the client makes progress towards their therapeutic goals.
Intense Treatment
hence "intensive"
You’re not spending time focusing on anything outside of the already agreed upon treatment goals so your EMDR intensive allows for a deeper processing of traumatic memories.
Focused Processing
This is ideal for clients who have one or two specific problems they are clear they want to work on.
