Common approaches to Trauma/PTSD therapy

David Kellar

Hear from David Kellar, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC - Associate)

View David Kellar's profile

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

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is to ask specific questions focusing on the event that was most disturbing for my client. I find the best way of doing trauma work is to reprocess previous disturbing events utilizing EMDR. EMDR helps clients utilize effective relaxation skills with the goal of processing the traumatic event to reduce and/or eliminate disturbing thoughts/feelings.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I mainly use EMDR as a tool in PTSD/trauma therapy.

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 level of disturbance is rated 1 or less, with 10 being the most disturbed and 0 having no disturbance.

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

Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, replacing negative thoughts with healthy positive thoughts.

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

To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can prepare to discuss the traumatic event and understand that during the first session, clients will be given relaxation techniques to use to reduce anxiety.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
