Reclaim Your Life With PTSD Treatment
What happened to you was horrible and painful. But, you survived and you can reclaim control of your life. You don’t have to live with PTSD symptoms. Trauma treatment can help you process what happened and learn to cope with the triggers you have.
I offer trauma treatment in Bradenton, FL to help you heal the pain and find freedom. The cornerstone of trauma therapy is establishing a positive relationship with your therapist. So, this is my first priority. Our first couple of sessions will be spent getting to know each other and building trust. Then, I will teach you realistic coping techniques. these will help you deal with the symptoms you are experiencing.
Next, comes the hard work. I use Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This form of therapy helps you identify the thoughts and emotions you’re feeling in regards to your trauma. Then, I will work with you to change these negative thoughts. And, if you are feeling stuck and are unable to process what happened, I will use Brainspotting or EMDR. These therapy techniques will help you uncover the thoughts and emotions that are holding you back.
I hope that after therapy, you will notice an immediate change. You will feel lighter and unburdened. You will be able to concentrate on your life without intrusive flashbacks or memories of the trauma distracting you. You’ll get your brain back. Ultimately, I want you to find joy, meaning, and purpose in your life.
