What is the difference between trauma and PTSD?
Trauma is an emotional response to a distressing event. PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop when trauma symptoms persist and significantly affect daily life.
Will I have to talk about everything that happened?
No. Therapy moves at a pace that feels safe for you. You will never be pressured to discuss details before you're ready.
Can trauma be treated?
Yes. Evidence-based therapies can help reduce the impact of trauma, improve emotional wellbeing and support long-term recovery.
Is it too late to seek help for past trauma?
No. It's never too late to seek support. Many people benefit from trauma therapy, even years after the traumatic experience.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process traumatic memories so they become less distressing over time.
Can trauma affect children as well as adults?
Yes. Trauma can affect people of all ages. Early support can help children and adults process their experiences and build healthy coping skills.
What type of therapy is for childhood trauma?
Treatment depends on the individual's age and needs. Common approaches include EMDR, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other trauma-informed therapies.
What therapy is best for trauma?
There is no single therapy that is best for everyone. Your psychologist will recommend an evidence-based approach, such as EMDR, CBT or ACT, based on your experiences and goals.
