Trauma Therapy
The word "trauma" refers to a state of experiencing significant hurt, shock, or injury, whether it be emotional or physical in nature.
Trauma happens when someone goes through harmful or life-threatening events. It is individual and can create long-lasting negative effects, making it difficult to function and achieve mental, physical, social, emotional or spiritual well-being.
To support your mental health, we assist members by providing Trauma Therapy in the form of Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
What is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy refers to a specialised form of psychological treatment designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. This therapeutic approach aims to alleviate the emotional and psychological distress associated with trauma, enabling individuals to regain a sense of safety and control in their lives.
Crisis Therapeutic Solutions provide various techniques, such as Cognitive-Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to facilitate recovery and promote resilience.

EMDR is a evidenced based therapeutic approach designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. It involves the use of guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help individuals process and integrate these memories, ultimately leading to a reduction in emotional pain and improved psychological well-being.
It is widely utilised for treating conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and is recognised for its effectiveness in promoting emotional healing.

Why is Trauma Therapy different to Counselling?
Trauma therapy differs from general counselling in its specific focus on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences. While counselling may provide support for a range of emotional and psychological issues, trauma therapy employs specialised techniques aimed at processing and healing from trauma. This approach often involves understanding the impact of trauma on an individual's mental health and developing coping strategies tailored to their unique experiences. Consequently, trauma therapy is designed to facilitate deeper emotional healing and recovery from the lasting effects of trauma, distinguishing it from broader counselling practices.
