Traumatherapy
Trauma therapy (or trauma-focused therapy) is a specialized type of psychotherapy that helps people to heal from the emotional and psychological effects of trauma—like abuse, accidents, violence, loss, or any deeply distressing experience. Typical symtoms by the trauma are hypervigilance, sleeping disorders, flashbacks and fears.
Traumatherapy is tailored to make you understand how trauma affects your body and brain. It is necessary to create a safe environment before working on the symptoms related to trauma and to process the memories without re-traumatising. Through a traumatherapy it is possible to rebuilt a feeling of trust and safety and a sense of control.
EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) is a structured traumatherapymethod, that encourages the patient to focus briefly on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Other popular traumatherapy tools are for example NET and somatic experiencing.
A traumatherapy can last from few weeks to several months or even years in cases of complex trauma or dissociative disorders. Praxis Kinnunen has at the moment openings for traumatherapy.
