Deep dives

Understanding Trauma Treatment Approaches

Trauma therapy often employs a combination of methods to address various aspects of trauma, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic work. IFS focuses on identifying and nurturing 'parts' of the self that hold pain or protect from it, akin to inner child work, facilitating a corrective emotional experience. EMDR is particularly effective for processing specific traumatic memories, helping individuals move past them by accessing and resettling these memories into long-term storage. Somatic work emphasizes the physical responses to trauma, encouraging clients to engage in body-oriented practices to complete interrupted responses and thereby renegotiate their traumatic experiences.
