Integrated Trauma Therapy: A Comprehensive Path to Healing
Trauma is complex, and no two people experience it the same way. To meet the unique needs of every client, I have developed Integrated Trauma Therapy, a holistic approach that draws from some of the most effective trauma-focused methods. This tailored approach combines evidence-based techniques with compassionate care to help you heal, grow, and regain control of your life.
The Foundations of Integrated Trauma Therapy
Integrated Trauma Therapy brings together elements from five proven approaches, each contributing unique tools and perspectives:
​
-
Forward-Facing Trauma Therapy (FFTT) FFTT focuses on equipping clients with practical tools to reduce stress and regulate emotions. Instead of revisiting past traumatic events, this approach emphasizes building resilience and staying present, empowering clients to thrive moving forward.
-
Inner Child Work Inner Child Work helps you reconnect with the vulnerable parts of yourself that hold unresolved wounds from childhood. By addressing these wounds with compassion and care, this method fosters self-compassion, emotional release, and integration of the past with the present.
-
Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) Prolonged Exposure Therapy helps clients process trauma by gradually confronting and revisiting distressing memories and situations in a safe, controlled environment. This method reduces the emotional power of traumatic experiences, fostering long-term relief.
-
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) TF-CBT focuses on understanding and restructuring negative thought patterns related to trauma. This approach equips clients with tools to manage stress, reframe their experiences, and regain a sense of safety and control in their daily lives.
-
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) NET helps clients construct a coherent narrative of their life, weaving traumatic events into a broader life story. This process allows individuals to reframe their experiences and reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories.
How Integrated Trauma Therapy Works
By combining these approaches, Integrated Trauma Therapy offers a personalized and adaptable framework. During our work together, I will:
-
Assess Your Needs: We will discuss your history and goals to determine which techniques best align with your healing process.
-
Tailor the Approach: Depending on your unique experiences, we may focus on one method more heavily or weave together aspects of several approaches.
-
Focus on Empowerment: The goal is not only to reduce trauma symptoms but also to build resilience, self-awareness, and a sense of control over your life.
What to Expect
Integrated Trauma Therapy provides a safe, supportive space where you can:
-
Develop tools to manage stress and emotional overwhelm.
-
Reconnect with your inner strength and sense of identity.
-
Process difficult memories in a way that feels manageable and empowering.
-
Build a new narrative for your life, rooted in resilience and hope.
Whether you are struggling with unresolved childhood trauma, recent traumatic events, or ongoing stress, Integrated Trauma Therapy offers a comprehensive path to healing that addresses your past, strengthens your present, and prepares you for a brighter future.
