What is Trauma Therapy?

Trauma therapy is a specialized form of mental health treatment designed to help individuals process, manage, and heal from traumatic experiences. Trauma can result from various situations, including:

​

  • Abuse or neglect (physical, emotional, or sexual)

  • Accidents or injuries

  • Loss of a loved one

  • Domestic violence

  • Military combat or first-responder experiences

  • Serious illness or medical trauma

  • Natural disasters

  • Chronic stress or childhood trauma

​

Through trauma-informed therapy, we help individuals navigate the emotional and psychological effects of these experiences, fostering healing, resilience, and emotional regulation.

The Importance of Trauma-Informed Therapy

At Fundamental Solutions Psychotherapy, we use a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Unlike traditional therapy methods that may inadvertently retraumatize individuals, trauma-informed therapy focuses on:

​

  • Understanding the impact of trauma on the brain and body

  • Providing a safe, supportive environment for healing

  • Empowering clients to regain a sense of control

  • Incorporating mind-body techniques to regulate emotional responses

​

By integrating somatic therapy for trauma, cognitive interventions, and emotional regulation techniques, we help clients address trauma in a way that feels safe and manageable.

​

Types of Trauma Therapy We Offer

Every individual processes trauma differently, which is why we offer a variety of evidence-based trauma therapies to meet the unique needs of our clients.

​

1. PTSD Therapy

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) occurs when trauma overwhelms the brain’s ability to process an event, leading to symptoms such as:

​

  • Flashbacks and intrusive thoughts

  • Hypervigilance and anxiety

  • Emotional numbness

  • Sleep disturbances and nightmares

​

Our PTSD therapy focuses on reprocessing distressing memories, reducing triggers, and restoring emotional stability.

​

2. Complex Trauma Therapy

Unlike PTSD, complex trauma (C-PTSD) results from long-term exposure to traumatic situations, often beginning in childhood. Symptoms can include:

​

  • Difficulty trusting others

  • Chronic feelings of shame or worthlessness

  • Emotional dysregulation

  • Repeating patterns of unhealthy relationships

​

Complex trauma therapy helps individuals break free from deep-rooted emotional pain and establish healthier coping mechanisms.

​

3. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is an effective treatment for both adults and children who have experienced trauma. This structured, evidence-based approach:

​

  • Identifies and challenges negative thought patterns

  • Reduces emotional distress related to traumatic memories

  • Teaches practical coping strategies to manage triggers

​

By combining cognitive therapy techniques with trauma-sensitive interventions, TF-CBT helps clients reprocess painful experiences and develop resilience.

​

4. Somatic Therapy for Trauma

Trauma is not just stored in the mind—it is also held in the body. Somatic therapy for trauma helps individuals release stored tension and emotional pain by focusing on body awareness, movement, and breathwork.

​

  • Reduces physical symptoms of trauma (muscle tension, chronic pain, digestive issues)

  • Improves emotional regulation through body-centered techniques

  • Enhances the mind-body connection for lasting healing

​

By incorporating somatic therapy, clients learn to process trauma in a holistic and deeply healing way.

​

5. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

EMDR is a structured trauma therapy technique that uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sound) to help the brain reprocess distressing memories. EMDR therapy is particularly effective for:

 

  • PTSD and C-PTSD

  • Reducing emotional triggers

  • Accelerating trauma recovery
