Trauma- Informed Therapy Services
Aurora Counseling and Wellness Center offers trauma-informed therapy to our community, recognizing and addressing the impact of this issue on an individual's well-being.
It is based on the understanding that many individuals have experienced traumatic events or circumstances in their lives, which can have profound and lasting effects on their mental, emotional, and physical health. This therapeutic approach aims to create a safe and supportive environment that promotes healing and recovery. What Is the Approach Trauma-Informed Therapy Takes? Central to trauma-informed therapy is acknowledging that this issue affects individuals in unique and diverse ways. It recognizes that trauma can result from many experiences, such as abuse, neglect, violence, accidents, natural disasters, or loss. Trauma can lead to various symptoms, including anxiety, depression, hypervigilance, flashbacks, dissociation, and difficulties with trust and relationships. Aurora Counseling and Wellness Center adopts an empathetic and understanding stance, actively validating and respecting the individual's experiences and responses. Trust and safety are emphasized throughout each session, ensuring you stay in control and have choices during the therapeutic process. Trauma can even dysregulate the nervous system, leading to heightened arousal or numbing and dissociation. The therapist helps individuals develop skills to regulate their nervous system, manage distressing symptoms, and build resilience.
