TRAUMA THERAPY

Trauma is a response to a distressing event or series of events that overwhelms your ability to cope. When left unresolved, trauma can be disruptive and leave people feeling paralyzed, stuck, and hopeless. At Wellness Blooms Therapy in Charleston, SC, our trauma therapists are specially trained to help you process and heal from traumatic experiences using evidence-based treatments.

​

Understanding Trauma and Its Effects

​

Trauma can result from a single event such as an accident, assault, or natural disaster, or from ongoing experiences like childhood abuse, neglect, domestic violence, or chronic stress. Symptoms of unresolved trauma may include flashbacks and intrusive memories, difficulty sleeping or nightmares, hypervigilance and heightened anxiety, emotional numbness or detachment, difficulty trusting others, and avoidance of reminders of the traumatic event.

​

Our Evidence-Based Trauma Treatments

​

We are trained in several proven trauma therapies including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Written Exposure Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and TF-CBT. Together, we can determine which approach aligns best with your unique needs, history, and goals for recovery.

​

What to Expect in Trauma Therapy

​

Healing from trauma is a deeply personal journey. Your therapist will work at your pace, starting with building a sense of safety and trust. Treatment typically progresses through three phases: stabilization and coping skill development, processing and reframing traumatic memories, and reconnecting with yourself and others. Sessions are confidential, compassionate, and designed to empower you.
