Injury Trauma Therapy

Injury trauma can result in a range of mental, physiological, and emotionally destabilizing responses for those who have experienced it. This type of trauma may be interwoven with the grief of losing a sense of our prior identity, agency, and autonomy. As well as with the pain of struggling to process the events and emotions connected to the injury event.

Symptoms of injury trauma may include (but are not limited to): fear of medical settings or medical procedures; physical sensations of pain or discomfort; trigger-avoidance patterns; fear; depression; severe anxiety; and ruminating thoughts associated with the traumatic event.

However, trauma-informed therapy can provide the emotional support needed to make meaning out of what has been lost. And to cultivate a new kind of strength required to survive and move forward in the aftermath of trauma.
