You don’t have to carry the weight of your past alone. Trauma affects women differently, often weaving into our relationships, self-worth, and daily lives in ways that can feel overwhelming. At Sun County Wellness, we move beyond simple symptom management to treat the root cause of your pain. Healing from trauma requires specialized care that addresses both the emotional and psychological impact of trauma.
People respond differently to traumatic experiences, and what may cause PTSD in one person may not affect another the same way. Factors like individual resilience, the nature of the traumatic event, and the availability of a supportive environment can all influence the risk of developing trauma disorders or anxiety disorders. An increased risk is often noted among individuals who have faced multiple or particularly severe traumatic experiences, such as childhood trauma, unresolved trauma, developmental trauma, or repeated emotional abuse.
Call and ask the facility directly or call your own provider to determine if your insurance covers the treatment.
Seeking help from a licensed mental health professional is a vital step in the recovery journey. At Sun County Wellness, our clinical team uses evidence-based treatments and diagnostic tools, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, to accurately diagnose mental health disorders, co-occurring disorders, and substance use disorder when present.
After diagnosis, the clinical team develops personalized treatment plans that include trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, integrative trauma therapy, and other evidence-based modalities. Our individualized approach ensures that every client receives compassionate care through a wide array of treatment modalities like art therapy, equine therapy, commitment therapy, and experiential modalities.
There are several kinds of treatments available for people with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental disorders related to trauma. Effective treatments often involve a combination of therapies, addressing both emotional reactions and physical aspects of the trauma. Healthcare providers may recommend different approaches based on a person’s mental health history, family history, and the type of trauma experienced.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common first-line treatments for trauma disorders. Trauma-focused therapy, such as trauma-focused CBT, helps individuals confront and process trauma memories while changing negative thoughts that contribute to depressed mood and other emotional responses. Cognitive therapy, a type of therapy within CBT, is used to help reframe and alter the way individuals perceive the trauma-related memories and their daily lives following the event. This approach is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced childhood abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, or domestic violence.
Exposure therapy, including imaginal exposure and prolonged exposure therapy, is a powerful method to help individuals confront and desensitize themselves to distressing memories associated with traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves safely reliving aspects of the dangerous event in a controlled environment, which can help individuals respond effectively to these memories without the ongoing fear or exaggerated startle response that typically accompanies them. Alterations in arousal, such as angry outbursts or impulsive behaviors, are also addressed through this treatment.
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is another effective form of psychotherapy, focusing on helping individuals understand and modify problematic thoughts related to childhood sexual trauma, long-term domestic violence, and other traumatic experiences. This therapy is particularly useful in addressing negative reactions, such as self-blame or involuntary memories, which may contribute to destructive behaviors and aggressive behavior.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a unique adjunctive treatment used for treatment of PTSD that involves focusing on intrusive memories while engaging in guided eye movements. This process helps reduce the emotional numbness and extreme reaction associated with these memories, allowing for benefit in treatment and overall recovery. While some systematic reviews and meta-analyses have found strong evidence for EMDR’s effectiveness, others suggest insufficient evidence regarding its long-term impact.
In addition to therapy, medications can be prescribed to manage the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This may include antidepressants or medications aimed at reducing anxiety, depressive disorders, or inappropriate behaviors. Healthcare professionals often recommend these treatments in conjunction with behavioral therapy techniques to provide a comprehensive approach to mental health care. Some individuals may also require Blood pressure monitoring due to the physical effects of chronic trauma. Research from systematic reviews and meta-analyses and studies using waitlist control and active controls continue to assess the efficacy of treatments for PTSD.
