What is your go-to approach for PTSD/trauma therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is DBT. I prefer this therapy because it helps the client learn about distress tolerance, self-care, self-soothing, and grounding.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy: self-care, self-soothing, grounding, mindfulness, distraction, and avoidance.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when their nightmares, flashbacks, and hypervigilance reduce in frequency.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement PTSD/trauma therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by practicing the skills they are learning in therapy at home.

What should someone do to prepare for starting PTSD/trauma therapy?

To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can make that first call and see which providers are trauma-informed and qualified to meet their needs.

Having him as an unbiased, professional ear to listen to my situations has proven to be invaluable. So, many people in my life have tried to convince me to act in their interest and not my own.

I could not be happier with my psychiatric nurse she’s very thorough, responsible, and caring individual. I appreciate that if I fail to reach out to her on the minute, she takes the time to reach out to me to get our meeting started, and is very attentive to any notice that I give her And I appreciate her recommendations
