Sessions with a trauma therapist are designed to progress at your own pace, ensuring you are never pressured to move faster than you’re ready for.
Starting trauma therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re unsure what the process will involve. Understanding what to expect from a trauma therapist can help alleviate anxiety and make the initial step more comfortable. This is why we take the time to fully explain our process and answer any questions you might have at Wings of the Future.
First things first, we complete an initial consultation that focuses on your background, current concerns, and aspirations. From there, we set you up with a trauma therapist that can not only help you achieve those goals but also give you the tools you need to process past trauma. Some of the techniques that might be introduced in your sessions include grounding strategies, breathing exercises, and other coping skills to help you regulate overwhelming emotions. These tools are designed to make you feel more stable both inside and outside of sessions.
When working with a trauma therapist from our team, you can rest assured they are educated to deal with the emotional and physical consequences of painful experiences, whether they occurred recently or long ago. Additionally, one of the first things you should anticipate is a strong emphasis on safety. Sessions are designed to progress at your own pace, and you will never feel pressured to divulge information before you’re ready.
Finally, it is important to understand that progress in trauma therapy is rarely linear. There may be times of relief, discomfort, understanding, and relaxation. A trauma therapist guides you through this process with compassion, consistency, and respect, promoting not only healing from the past but also increased resilience and self-trust moving forward.
