Trauma-Informed Therapy

Trauma-informed therapy is an approach to therapy that takes into account the impact of trauma on a person's life and recognizes the role trauma plays in their mental health. Trauma-informed therapy involves creating a safe and supportive environment for the person to explore their experiences and feelings related to trauma, and it prioritizes empowering the person and giving them a sense of control in the therapeutic process. Trauma-informed therapy may also involve specific techniques for addressing trauma, such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, somatic therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
