Holistic Trauma Therapy
Holistic trauma therapy focuses on treating the whole person, rather than just the symptoms of trauma. This approach takes into account the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person's life, and aims to promote healing and growth in all areas. By addressing the root causes of trauma and providing a safe and supportive environment, holistic trauma therapy can help individuals overcome their past experiences and move forward with a renewed sense of hope and resilience.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a evidence based type of psychotherapy that is used to treat PTSD, trauma and other mental health conditions. It involves a series of eye movements, sounds, or taps that help the brain reprocess traumatic memories and emotions. EMDR therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. EMDR helps to remove negative beliefs that have been internalized and replace those beliefs with positive cognitions that help to empower individuals participating in this type of therapy.
Psychedelic assisted therapy is an emerging field that utilizes psychedelic substances, such as ketamine, to help adult individuals overcome mental health challenges. This approach involves the use of these substances in a controlled, supervised and supportive environment, under the guidance of a licensed therapist together with a trained healthcare professional, to facilitate a state of heightened awareness and introspection. Psychedelic assisted therapy has demonstrated significant potential in treating conditions such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
