Frequently Asked Questions about Trauma Therapy
-
What does "trauma" even mean?
When you have experienced something traumatic, your brain stores these memories differently than it stores memories of safe or benign experiences.
Rather than being processed and sent into long term memory, they are marked as too important to forget and stored as if they are still happening in the present. The emotion center of your brain has strong reactions to anything that reminds you of the experience, and will trigger symptoms of panic, aggression, or shut down until it feels that you are safe again.
-
What kinds of therapy do you offer at The Well Therapy Group?
The Well Therapy Group provides trauma therapy modalities including Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, the Havening Technique, and interpersonal and humanistic talk therapy.
All of these therapies are designed to help your brain and body reckon with what happened to you within a contained environment. Within this safe environment, your therapist will assist you with reprocessing your experiences which allows for you brain to recognize that the event is in the past.

How does trauma therapy work?
Trauma therapy works by creating a safe container where you can reprocess experiences from your life that were overwhelming or intense.
Within this safe container, your therapist will incorporate any number of interventions to assist you with this reprocessing. All of our therapists are trained in evidence-based trauma recovery therapies that are developed and delivered to help you reduce the symptoms of trauma and get your life back. Therapy is a space for reflecting, grieving, resourcing, and clarifying your experiences while looking towards the future.
