Trauma therapy and counseling

• Evaluating needs and building trust: Creating a secure, non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to discuss their pain while assessing how trauma impacts their relationships, thoughts, and physical health.

• Developing treatment plans: Collaborating with clients to establish goals like stabilization, emotional processing, and resilience building, often using evidence-based methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).

• Teaching coping strategies: Educating clients on grounding techniques, emotional regulation, and stress management to prevent retraumatization and help them navigate daily life effectively.

• Facilitating group and family therapy: Organizing sessions where survivors can share experiences with peers or work with family members to rebuild trust and improve communication.

Trauma specialty in simple terms

The word trauma derives from Greek and means "wound." Trauma is therefore a "psychological wound" that can be caused by various situations. For example, when we hear about traumatic events, we associate them with problems caused by major natural disasters or those caused by man, such as wars, accidents, sexual abuse, etc. Specialists call them Traumas with a “T” due to the great magnitude of their causes, but fundamentally because they are situations in which our physical integrity is in danger and therefore there is a danger even of death.

But there is also another category, traumas with a "t", they are relational, and the ones we most frequently observe in psychological consultation. They can occur in the family, as a couple, at work, at school... In general, they are all those events that can cause a “wound” to the person, such as lack of protection, humiliation, change of roles in the family, victims of bullying, mobbing, abandonment, etc. where, although life is not put at risk, they are always experiences that have a strong emotional impact on the person.

However, the importance of the causes of the traumatic event does not determine the quality of the damage it produces. It can be equally harmful whether it is written with "T" or "t", because its effects will depend on each person, their history and emotional environment, the moment in which it occurred and its repetition over time.

In trauma, no matter its origin, it affects the health, safety and well-being of the person in such a way that they can develop false and destructive beliefs about themselves and the world.

What happens in a traumatic situation is that we fail to place the situation cognitively, in some way, because they are often unpredictable, absurd situations and we cannot make sense of it, we cannot face it and, as a consequence, it disarms us and gives us a sense of vulnerability. This is what happens inside us when we experience a trauma, we have an emotional earthquake because we cannot make sense of it.

What happens if I do not seek support

If professional support is not sought after experiencing a trauma, the main risk is that the symptoms will become chronic, intense, or significantly interfere with daily life, which can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or other mental health complications.

Although many people recover naturally, ignoring the trauma or attempting to process it alone without guidance can cause emotions and memories to become “trapped” in the body and mind, deepening the emotional wound and affecting self-esteem, relationships, and decision-making ability.

Persistence of symptoms: Reactions such as nightmares, hypervigilance, flashbacks or isolation can last indefinitely if not processed properly.

Isolation and taboo: Keeping the trauma a secret magnifies the experience and can lead to feeling misunderstood, which makes healing difficult and increases the feeling of loneliness.

Impact on routine: Lack of treatment can disrupt the ability to maintain a daily routine, sleep, work, or interact socially, creating a cycle of ongoing stress.

However, it is important to note that no person is forced to go through it alone, and early intervention from a professional can speed up the recovery process and prevent long-term damage.
