What is trauma therapy?

Trauma refers to any tragic event or series of events that has a physical or psychological impact on a person. It can include events like natural catastrophes, grief and loss, abuse, neglect, violence, and witnessing terrible events, amongst others.

People who experience trauma can suffer from short and long-term consequences that can be extremely disruptive. Trauma therapy in Dubai helps in improving the physical and psychological impact of the trauma, enabling people to cope better and heal as a result.

Symptoms of trauma

Trauma response varies from person to person, even if they were in the same situation. The type of the event and the sociocultural factors also play an important role in trauma response. Some signs are exhibited in the immediate aftermath of the event, whereas others tend to persist for years.

Some common signs of trauma include:

Trauma treatment options

1. Therapy

There are different therapy approaches and techniques for the treatment of trauma. These include:

a) Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

CPT helps in challenging and thus changing the thoughts and beliefs related to the traumatic event(s).

b) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

The focus of EMDR is not the traumatic event itself, but the consequent emotions. It uses guided eye movements to help recall the event and thus release the emotion that the person suppressed or blocked.

c) Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT in trauma therapy helps people understand their emotional responses better. It is also effective in improving people’s interactions with others.

d) Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PET)

The aim of the therapy is to gradually expose people to the source of fear, so they learn to cope with the consequent anxiety. It is particularly effective in instances where trauma causes flashbacks and nightmares.

e) Solution-Focused Therapy

The premise of this technique is that people possess the resources to deal with the problem, they just need the realization that they have the strength to overcome the challenges.

f) Somatic Touch Therapy

A unique approach, Somatic Touch Therapy involves using gentle and intentional touch to help people release trauma stored in their bodies. It helps regulate the nervous system. The intention of this therapy is to heal the mind and body, both.

g) Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

It involves changing the unhelpful thought patterns to address the behavioral issues stemming from it. TF-CBT is especially helpful in addressing the negative beliefs about yourself that may have been a consequence of the trauma.

h) Trauma-Focused Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (TF-DBT)

TF-DBT is helpful for teaching people how to regulate their emotions. People work through the traumatic memories without getting triggered by them. DBT also uses the principles of mindfulness to help people stay in the present, alongside teaching them other coping mechanisms.

i) Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts Therapy

Provided especially to children, this therapy uses the sensory qualities of arts for healing. It helps people recognize the reactions that occur because of the traumatic event and learn to cope with them.

j) Written-Exposure Therapy (WET)

A brief form of therapy, WET calls for people to write their traumatic memories down. Through these exercises, people can think differently about their pain.

2. Medication

In cases where trauma leads to conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), people may also be prescribed medication to help with the symptoms. These generally include anti-anxiety and antidepressants medicines.

Benefits of trauma therapy

Trauma therapy helps people understand the impact of the traumatic event and heal from it. Additional benefits of trauma therapy include:

  • Improved mental and physical health
  • Improved self-esteem
  • Better self-awareness
  • Overcoming addictions
  • Reduction of trauma-related symptoms
  • Reduction of self-harm
  • Regulation of nervous system
  • Personal growth
  • Closure over the past issues
  • Reduced self-blame
