Frequently Asked Questions
What is trauma, and how does it affect mental health?
Trauma is a response to distressing or life-threatening events, such as abuse, accidents, loss, sexual assault or childhood neglect. It can leave lasting emotional scars, leading to anxiety, depression, flashbacks, or feelings of fear and helplessness. Unresolved trauma can significantly affect your mental and physical well-being.
How can therapy help with trauma?
Trauma therapy provides a safe space to process painful memories and emotions. Using approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy, therapists can help you regain control over your emotions and heal from traumatic experiences.
What are the common signs of unresolved trauma?
Unresolved trauma may manifest as flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, irritability, and difficulty trusting others. If these symptoms interfere with your daily life, it’s important to seek support.
What types of trauma do you treat?
At Raha Therapy, I help clients work through a range of trauma, including childhood trauma, emotional and physical abuse, sexual assault, accidents, grief, and other life-altering experiences. Together, we’ll explore and address the impact of trauma on your mental health.
Can online trauma therapy be effective?
Yes, online trauma therapy is a convenient and effective option for processing trauma from the comfort of your home. Many clients find online sessions to be a safe space for exploring difficult emotions, allowing for flexibility without compromising the quality of care.
How long does trauma therapy typically take?
The duration of trauma therapy depends on the individual and the severity of the trauma. Some clients may find relief in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term therapy to fully process and heal from their experiences. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you. However, trauma therapy if often a long-term commitment as it is a slow process to prevent the client from getting overwhelmed.
