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

I let the client tell me their trauma story.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

One tool I use during trauma therapy is to ask the client to let me know if they start to feel retraumatized; then we will take a break by doing a relaxing activity—for example, a breathing exercise.

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

The client has made progress when they have achieved treatment goals/objectives.

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

To supplement therapy, the client can do homework, which might involve doing a mindfulness exercise.

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

Clients can remind themselves that they can share their trauma stories at their own pace.

Starting Trauma/PTSD therapy

What is PTSD/trauma therapy?

At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.

How does PTSD/trauma therapy work?

Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.

Symptoms of PTSD

The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:

  • Flashbacks and distressing memories of the traumatic event
  • Nightmares and sleep disturbances
  • Intense anxiety and irritability
  • Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
  • Negative changes in mood and thought patterns
  • Increased arousal, like difficulty concentrating or exaggerated startle response

How do you overcome PTSD triggers?

The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.

What type of therapist is best for PTSD?

In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.

Is PTSD/trauma therapy conducted in person or online?

PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long should you go to therapy for PTSD?

If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.

How successful is therapy for PTSD?

The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Therapy in Maumelle, AR

Have you ever watched a really scary movie, and afterwards felt extremely jumpy?  A knock on the door, a creak in your floor—everything seems a little bit louder, more intense.  Imagine experiencing this feeling all the time: a never-ending constant state of fear.  That feeling is often what someone suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) experiences daily.

At Thriveworks Maumelle, we know that living with PTSD can be a challenging feat. We have therapists that want to work with those suffering in order to help them manage this difficult mental illness. Our PTSD therapists are willing to assist people in order to process what has happened to them and allow them to feel safe again. Reach out today for help.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: Signs and Symptoms

PTSD is a mental health condition that can arise after experiencing a traumatic event.  Symptoms of PTSD can vary depending on the person suffering through it.  However, symptoms typically include:

  • Hypervigilance
  • Mood changes
  • Loss of concentration
  • Flashbacks
  • Fear
  • Severe anxiety
  • Social isolation
  • Unwanted thoughts
  • Insomnia and other sleep disruptions

Symptoms don’t necessarily surface the day after an event takes place, instead it can take days, months, or years for symptoms to surface, which makes battling this illness a tough fight.

Risk Factors for PTSD

When thinking about PTSD, many people associate it with war veterans, and although many of them do suffer from this condition, there is a wide scope of individuals affected by the illness.  Some might include:

  • Victims of physical or sexual assault
  • Firefighters
  • Police officers
  • ER doctors
  • Individuals diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.

These are only some of the examples of people who have heavy exposure to potential distress.  If you feel like you have lived through or witnessed a traumatic event and it has left you feeling fearful and damaged, help is out there.

Thriveworks offers it all. It’s very easy to change therapist until you find one you like. Only thing I’d like to see change is the price for missed appointments. It keeps people accountable but over $100 is a bit harsh.

THRIVE ALIVE is working on a project and it’s “ME” and she also has my “FFL” as a patient too. Let’s just say she is a little Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey wrapped in to one! I’m not telling you her name because I don’t want her to get booked and deprive me of my scheduled appointments. I’m just saying this woman is a “MIRACLE WORKER!” I got this CM!

My depression and anxiety were taken over my life and I knew I had to make a change. Just like everyone else I thought I didn't need counseling. After my first session with Kristen G., I knew God had placed me with a compassionate, and caring therapist. Without a doubt I would recommend Thriveworks and their team of professionals
