What to Look For in Trauma Therapy
Evidence-Based Approaches
Look for EMDR, CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy), or Prolonged Exposure training. Ask potential therapists about their specific trauma training.
Trauma-Informed Care
Not just "willing to discuss trauma" but specifically trained in trauma treatment. The therapist should understand nervous system dysregulation, dissociation, and pacing.
