Dealing with Trauma: Why Therapy Can Help.

When working with trauma recovery, psychotherapists at Adele Sand Therapy are extensively trained to delicately navigate pain and suffering, provide tools to deal with the short-term and long-term effects, and ultimately achieve the goal of recovery to your more happier, successful self.

Understanding Trauma

Simply put, trauma is an emotional response to a painful event like death, a disaster, or abuse. Trauma can manifest in a variety of ways if not treated, and can have short-term and long-term effects. Some short-term effects are shock and denial, which are typical. If not treated by a trained therapist, trauma can cause long-term damage like unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and possibly physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, self-harming behavior, and even addiction. Following a traumatic event, it is so important to seek therapy to work on your mental well-being. With the right support and expertise, we here at Adele Sand Therapy can help you recover from either short-term or long-term pain and suffering.

Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment

For trauma survivors, feeling safe is paramount and the therapeutic relationship itself can be a reparative experience. At Adele Sand Therapy, we offer confidential, trusting, one-on-one sessions and work with you to recover and feel better. Everyone and every traumatic experience is different, and we personalize each session to fit your specific needs. If you are experiencing effects from trauma, you are not alone and we are here to help.

Integrating Trauma-Healing Techniques

It is important for trauma survivors to heal in a safe environment and at a pace that works for them. Psychoeducation plays a vital role in trauma therapy, and understanding how trauma impacts your brain and body to effectively recover from trauma. We here at Adele Sand Therapy utilize the Heart Model for all of our trauma survivors. The Heart Model is a Gestalt therapy method that works to heal traumatic memories and feelings. The first step to recovery is grieving what has been lost and then working to connect to positive memories, and to bring those to the forefront of the mind. At Adele Sand Therapy, we have over 20 years of experience, and have cultivated the most up-to-date skills and wisdom to effectively help trauma survivors recover.
