Learn more about therapists who can help with Trauma
What is trauma?
Trauma refers to the psychological and emotional response to a distressing event or series of events that overwhelm an individual's ability to cope. These events can vary widely and may include experiences such as accidents, natural disasters, violence, or abuse. Trauma can have profound and long-lasting effects on a person's mental and emotional well-being, leading to symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and difficulty forming relationships. Understanding trauma involves recognising its impact on both the mind and body and acknowledging that healing is possible with the right support and interventions.
Effective treatment for trauma recovery
Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to help individuals heal from trauma and regain a sense of safety and control in their lives. Evidence-based therapies such as trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy (TF-CBT), eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) have shown significant success in helping individuals process traumatic experiences and develop healthy coping mechanisms. These therapies aim to address the underlying thoughts, emotions, and behaviours associated with trauma while providing a safe and supportive environment for healing to occur. In addition to therapy, medications such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms of trauma-related disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Complex Trauma: What Is It and How Does It Affect People?
Trauma is something many of us are familiar with, whether through personal experience or stories we’ve heard from others.
