Trauma

Do you feel traumatised by event(s) in your life?
Do you feel unable to escape events from your past?
Do you feel like you should be over it?
Do you re-experience, or dream about events in your life?
Do you avoid certain things?
Do you find it hard to relax?

Trauma can come in many different forms and people will respond to the same event differently. Trauma can impact the way we view ourselves, other people, and the world generally.  It can lead to changes in how we interact with people, how safe we feel, and our ability to control our emotions. 

Research shows that Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are effective treatments for trauma responses. 

At Empower Rehab and Psychology we will assess the impact that trauma has had on your life, and create a plan with you to address these impacts and responses. We will use evidence-based treatments that address the trauma to help you move forward with your life in a meaningful way.
