Common Approaches to Trauma Treatment

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT): Helps clients reframe negative thoughts and emotions.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Uses bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
• Somatic Experiencing: Focuses on body-based awareness and reactions.
• Group Therapy: Creates community and shared healing in a supportive setting.

Choosing the most effective trauma therapy depends on your unique needs, comfort level, and readiness.
