At Jagruti Rehab, we understand the consequential influence that trauma may have and leave on your general and mental health. Our trauma therapy programs are thus designed to offer a secure and encouraging environment for patients needing help where they can start their recovery and heal.

What Is Trauma Therapy?

Trauma therapy is one type of psychotherapy that addresses trauma in people. It is designed and used to help people recover from the long-term impact of a deep trauma called trauma. Traumatic events in one’s life could be of several types; for example- abuse, accidents, natural disasters, loss, violence, continual neglect, etc. The examples mentioned are only a few situations that can act as trauma in some people, leaving psychological, emotional, or physical after-effects. The process of restoring and recovering emotional balance, decreasing panic and fear, regaining a sense of safety and control, processing the dark experiences, accepting them, and moving on are the main objectives of trauma therapy.
Trauma Therapy at Jagruti Rehab is:

  • Is personalised for every patient.
  • Uses evidence-based techniques and the latest methods in the treatment.
  • Focuses on recovery and building long-term resilience to triggers reminding of the trauma.

How Does Trauma Therapy Work?

Trauma therapy helps patients to recognise, process, and manage their trauma using several methods and techniques. The treatment process involves working closely with the therapist to come to terms with the trauma, heal from it, and build skills to face the triggers with confidence without breaking down.
The following are the steps followed by a therapist in trauma therapy:

1. Assessment: Identifying and understanding the nature and impact of the trauma.

2. Safety and Stabilization: Creating a safe environment for the patient and building bonds for them to find trust and emotional stability in relations.

3. Processing: Slowly digging into the experience to explore the different aspects of the trauma, the disturbing memories, and coming to terms with them.

4. Reintegration: Helping the patients move on from the event and confidently look forward in life.

Types of Trauma Therapy Techniques

Trauma therapy uses several techniques to handle and help different types of patients. Some of the trauma therapy techniques used by the therapists at Jagruti Rehab are as follows:

1. What is EMDR Trauma Therapy(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
It is a unique technique using guided eye movements to help process the disturbing memories of the traumatic event. It is extremely effective for acute stress and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) For Trauma
Trauma CBT focuses on habits that trigger the disturbing memories from the trauma. The therapy works to identify the thoughts and habits and replace them with altering positive thoughts and habits to reduce the effects. CBT helps develop coping strategies in the individual that help them with long-term recovery.

3. Physical Sensations
Several traumas like accidents and abuse leave physical trauma that gets triggered by body touches. This method aims to alter the body's experiences connected to the traumatic event, making the patient more resilient and accepting of touches. The process helps the patient build more emotional control and enhanced body awareness to understand the difference between safe and unsafe touches.

4. TF-CBT For Children
Traumatic-focused cognitive behavioural therapy is designed for younger patients like kids and teenagers. The therapy is specially designed for age-sensitive patients and integrates CBT with trauma-sensitive therapies to make the treatment more age-appropriate for them.
