Trauma therapy is a specialised form of therapy designed to support clients to process, heal and deal with emotional, psychological and physical effects of distress suffered from trauma.
Trauma symptoms include physical, behavioural and emotional changes that affect how a person feels, thinks and reacts after a negative experience in life.

Common Symptoms of Trauma
Intrusion and Reliving
- Flashbacks: Feeling as if the event is happening again.
- Nightmares: Bad dreams related to the event.
- Intrusive thoughts: Unwanted, repeated memories of the trauma.
Avoidance
- Staying away: Avoiding people, places, or things that bring back memories.
- Emotional numbing: Feeling detached, empty, or unable to experience joy.
- Social withdrawal: Pulling away from friends, family, and normal activities.
Arousal and Reactivity
- Hypervigilance, feeling constantly on guard or looking for danger.
- Startle response: Getting jumpy or easily frightened by sudden noises.
- Irritability: Having angry outbursts or aggressive behaviour.
- Sleep issues: Trouble falling or staying asleep.
Physical Signs

Top Evidence-Based Trauma Therapies
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): A specific type of CBT focused heavily on challenging “stuck points” or distorted beliefs (like guilt or blame) related to the trauma.
- Somatic Therapies: Body-based approaches like Somatic Experiencing or Sensorimotor Psychotherapy that focus on physical sensations to release tension and calm a dis-regulated nervous system without forcing you to retell the story.
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT): A structured talk therapy that helps you identify and change unhelpful beliefs, reduce distress, and process painful memories.
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR): A specialised method using guided side-to-side eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess stuck traumatic memories so they lose their emotional charge.
- Trauma-Informed Mindfulness: Uses gentle grounding techniques and body awareness to build emotional resilience and reduce the intensity of flashbacks
