Understanding Trauma & PTSD
Trauma can result from a wide range of experiences that leave a lasting impact on an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. PTSD is a disorder that may develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, characterized by intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to the experience that last long after the event has ended.

Treatment Modalities at Beacon of Inner Healing
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a highly effective treatment for PTSD. It involves working with a therapist to understand and change thought patterns that are causing distress. Techniques such as cognitive restructuring and exposure therapy are part of CBT and have been shown to significantly reduce the symptoms of PTSD.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is another evidence-based therapy that helps individuals heal from the symptoms of trauma and emotional distress. It involves the therapist guiding the patient through a series of side-to-side eye movements while recalling the traumatic event, which helps in processing and integrating traumatic memories. More about EMDR.
Group Therapy
Group therapy sessions provide a safe space for sharing experiences and receiving support from others who have faced similar challenges. These sessions help build a community of support, crucial for the healing process.
Somatic Experiencing
Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach to overcoming trauma and other stress disorders. It focuses on perceiving and releasing physical tension that remains in the aftermath of trauma. Further details on Somatic Experiencing.
