Finding therapy for complex trauma that truly works

What is trauma? Contrary to popular belief, psychological trauma is not just something terrible that happened to you, it is your emotional response to the stressful event.

Trauma has a funny way of not letting go, through memories, thoughts, triggers, and whatnot. It's sad how less people are encouraged to seek psychological help and therapy for complex trauma to overcome those distressinging experiences. 

Types of Trauma

Stressful situations do not affect everyone the same way. Each and everyone responds differently depending upon a large number of risk and protective factors across biological, social, environmental surroundings of the person. There are several types of trauma that trauma therapist India acknowledges, including;

• Acute trauma : This develops on exposure to or experience of a single dangerous or traumatic event.
• Chronic trauma : It is the result of traumatic experiences that were long-term and/or repetitive.
• Complex trauma : Complex trauma involves trauma response developed as a result of many different overwhelmingly stressful events that might have occurred at the same time or across different phases of life. Therapy for complex trauma requires careful identification and attention to all possible causal factors by trauma-informed therapist in India.
• Secondary trauma : This is also called vicarious trauma and refers to trauma response formed because of traumatic experiences of a close, loved one like a friend, family member, partner etc.

Importance of Individual Focused Approach in Trauma Therapy 

The type of events causing trauma in a person through experiencing, seeing, or knowing in deatil (of the dangerous event happened to dear ones) can be many and varied like childhood trauma (physical, sexual, verbal abuse), accidents, violent deaths, war, kidnapping, natural disasters, various kinds of abuse, sexual assault etc.

Sometimes, some people, specifically, female sexual assault survivors might prefer a female trauma-informed therapist in India. Based on various aspects of the traumatic event, the traumatised person's needs for any kind of treatment, management, and intervention including therapy for complex trauma from their trauma therapist India can also vary greatly.

Considering all the relevant factors, therapists should build a supportive environment in therapy that creates a sense of safety and helps them validates their experiences to enhance healing. It is important for the trauma-informed therapist in India to keep all the complexities and multi-faceted nature of the individual as well as the events they faced while providing therapy for complex trauma or any other kinds of traums.

Effective Therapeutic Treatments for Trauma

Unlike many conditions where often ‘one fits all’ techniques can be employed, trauma respons6e and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), a mental condition resulting from trauma, is highly subjective and requires tailored use of even common techniques. Some of the techniques used by trauma-informed therapist in India to ensure adaptive processing of the experience, healthy coping, and moving on are:

• TF-CBT : Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 
• Prolonged Exposure Therapy 
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing 
• Cognitive Processing Therapy 
• Narrative Therapy 
• Cognitive Restructuring 
• Mindfulness based approaches
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy 

Influence of Therapist's Characteristics 

Many characteristics of the trauma therapist India also decides the appropriateness and effectiveness of treatment. Not all therapists are trauma-informed. Experience of the therapist dealing with different traumas, their theoretical framework, expertise in appropriate techniques, all matters.

Sometimes gender, age, race, religion, etc of the therapist might also influence the efficacy of treatments because of the possibilities of triggering the client as a result of any physical appearnace or other details of the therapist being associated with perpetrators of the traumatic event or others associated negatively with it. That is why in certain sexual assault cases with male offenders, female survivors are more comfortable with a female trauma-informed therapist in India than a male if the trauma has led to them being afraid or apprehensive of anyone of the opposite gender.

Therefore, while seeking for trauma treatment, it is important to enusre not only that the therapist is trauma-informed and has the professional experience and expertise to deal with your case but also whether the that particular male or female trauma-informed therapist in India is the correct fit for you in terms of sense of comfort, safety, and empowerment.

Remember, you don't have to suffer in silence, or in the chaos created by the echoes of your trauma, there are many trauma-informed therapist in India who can facilitate your process of healing. Seek them out. Ask for help. Heal.
