We consider ourselves nervous system geeks here at Reclaim Therapy! We are informed by current research in neuroscience and we often utilize a three-phased PTSD treatment and trauma therapy framework. That can look like:

Engagement in the therapeutic relationship and finding safety and stability. In this phase of treatment, you’ll learn and practice how to cope with overwhelming emotions, regulate your nervous system and find safety and stability when exposed to triggers.
Acknowledging, processing, working through, and integrating traumatic memories. In this phase of treatment, you’ll work with your trauma therapist to process memories, sensations, and/or self-beliefs. We often use parts work and EMDR therapy in this phase of treatment.
Integration and rehabilitation. In this phase of treatment, we focus on how to achieve a more solid sense of self how you can integrate that with the outside world.

We commonly utilize different types of trauma therapy in our work with clients. Some of these include:
