Trauma-Informed DBT
The passing of time does not heal all wounds. It’s common for people to struggle for years or decades after a traumatic event or overwhelming life experience. TI-DBT is a therapy designed to help you make sense of your symptoms so you can take positive actions to decrease stressors and overcome challenges on your healing journey. The ultimate goal of TI-DBT is to help you reduce trauma’s painful imprint on your mind, body and spirit.
DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE)
- Do you feel like your meds are not working?
- Are you frustrated with the lack of progress in your healing?
- Do you feel like you could use some more personal support?
Medication and traditional therapies are important tools for treating depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions, but they’re not always enough. It’s important for people to be provided with additional tools to manage their symptoms, identify stressors, and learn to overcome challenges.
That’s where Dialectical Behavior Therapy Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE) can help. It is a comprehensive treatment designed to get to the root of your struggles, help you recover from trauma and create a life you want to live.
Are you ready to find the answers within? DBT-Prolonged Exposure can help.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an integrative therapeutic approach that has proven to be effective in reducing the long-lasting effects of distressing memories by developing adaptive coping mechanisms.
EMDR has helped an estimated two million people overcome trauma and psychological distress. The treatment itself consists of the patient being asked to recall a traumatic memory or distressing image while engaging in a type of bilateral sensory input such as tapping their hand, moving their eyes back and forth, or breathing in and out in a consistent pattern.
There are multiple phases to EMDR, including examining the patient’s past history and assessing readiness, identifying means of managing emotional distress, and engaging in the sensory process.
EMDR can be a crucial step in the recovery process for people who are continuing bear the burden of past traumatic memories. Our trauma-informed team of therapists can administer the EMDR therapy and help you learn the skills necessary to overcome your trauma and build a life worth living.
