    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).

     

    Find the right therapist on It’s Complicated

    It may take some exploration and open communication with potential therapists to discover the approach and therapist that aligns best with your needs and preferences. Trusting your instincts and being patient with yourself throughout this process can help alleviate some of the overwhelm and lead to a smoother therapeutic journey. If you are interested in therapy to assist you in improving your life quality, It's Complicated operates in nearly 100 languages, offering both online and in-person sessions. With a diverse network of over 1,500 mental health professionals spanning 80+ countries, you can easily connect with accredited psychologists who can support you in managing trauma.
