Common approaches to Trauma/PTSD therapy

Hear from Aldeena McAlister, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

View Aldeena McAlister's profile

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

My go-to approach for treating PTSD is approaching the traumatic event as something that happened in the past as a part of the client's timeline. It's not what happens to you, it's what you believe about yourself in response to what happens to you. By working with the belief, healing can occur. If we focus on the event, nothing can be changed, because we can't change the past.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I teach the following tools in trauma therapy:

When you think about this event, what do you believe about yourself?
What would you prefer to believe? What do you need to get there?
Pay attention to the body, it has the answers you are looking for.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in trauma counseling when they are compassionate toward that part of themselves that lived through the experience.

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

Clients can supplement their time in trauma counseling by continuing to implement compassionate inquiry. This is a process of being curious rather than critical toward themselves.

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

To prepare for your first session, you can simply show up with an open mind.

I have been working with Dr. Covey for almost 6 months now and she has been excellent. I feel like I am heard and understood even when I have a hard time expressing things myself and putting thoughts into words. Having someone who can actually listen and provide the resources to assist myself with past trauma and current challenges has been a life changer.
