Unexpected events can often happen as you move through your life. These events can leave you feeling powerless, in fear, and experiencing withdrawal. Domestic violence, sexual violence, emotional abuse, a car accident, or any other distressful event where you felt your life was in danger can lead to psychological trauma.
Resulting symptoms such has hyperarousal, nightmares, dissociation, and mood instability can be treated using Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence based practice for individuals between the ages of 3 to 18. It can help you to process the trauma by understanding symptoms and creating a trauma narrative to regain your emotional stability.
Another form of trauma therapy for persistent or complex trauma symptoms, that have not been resolved with other treatments, is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE). This therapy has been shown to help reduce trauma symptoms significantly for these more complex cases.
