Why It Matters

Trauma is common — and healing is possible.

The stress and rigors of daily life may affect a person’s general well-being every once in a while. However, when a traumatic event occurs in one’s life, it may permanently scar them emotionally and mentally.

Trauma may occur more commonly than we think, with 6 out of every ten men and 5 in every ten women suffering from at least one traumatic incident in their lives. Natural disasters, physical abuse, loss of a loved one, and acts of war and violence often trigger these and can develop into worse conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disordersTranscend Recovery Community helps address these issues by providing supplemental recovery services specifically for patients with mental trauma.

The Basics

What Is Trauma Therapy?

Trauma therapy is a type of recovery method that examines how traumatic events or a traumatic experience impact an individual’s overall well-being. A mental health professional, particularly a trauma therapist, works in covering different facets of trauma such as types of trauma, emotional response, post-traumatic stress, trauma-related issues, trauma memory, and psychological trauma, and how this contributed to someone’s stressor-related disorders or mental disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

It also surveys trauma-related beliefs to identify triggers and provide adequate treatment options, treating each trauma differently.

Our Approach

Does Transcend Recovery Community Offer Trauma Treatment?

Transcend Recovery Community offers extended support for trauma survivors through its sober living and aftercare programs and believes in a holistic approach to an individual’s long-term recovery. It integrates coping skills for people who experienced trauma, such as combat veterans, and helps them with the healing process by understanding and processing their negative thoughts or emotions related to a traumatic event.

  • After Care Program — Transcend works closely with its partner program, The Heights Treatment, in treating trauma. Treatment involves a partial hospitalization program (PHP) for transitioning clients who don’t need to stay in a treatment center, but instead stay in their homes or a sober living facility while completing their treatment program.
  • Sober Living — Living in sober residences provides a haven for people dealing with mental health disorders and their traumatic experiences. Individuals who have accomplished trauma therapy programs are more likely to continue to live in a sober living home, where they can be supported as they heal from a severe injury that may manifest in intense emotional reactions.

Five Key Points

What Does Trauma Therapy And Healing Involve?

To promote effective rehabilitation and healing with someone suffering from their trauma, trauma therapy must address these five key points.

  • Learning About The Traumatic Event — Trauma therapy should provide space for individuals to learn about normal responses to trauma. It allows people to digest why specific thoughts and behaviors occur and sheds light on their experiences.
  • Recognizing The Triggers — This helps the patient identify, recognize, analyze, and describe trauma-related memories and feelings. Individuals can begin to realize what experiences or feelings trigger them, and refine their responses over time.
  • Developing Healthy Coping Mechanisms — Counseling sessions help patients strengthen coping mechanisms to better respond to traumatic memories and feelings by introducing anxiety management and calming techniques.
  • Re-Establishing Safety — With exercises and discussions that target their unique experiences, trauma-focused therapy helps patients reintegrate internal and external safety senses.
  • Practicing Trauma Processing Or Integration — Trauma counseling helps patients regain power and control over their past experiences by sensitively assisting them in re-telling their stories, so they can make sense of these events and how they relate to their perception of themselves and their surroundings.
Three Stages

What Are The Three Stages Of Trauma Recovery?

Recovering from severe trauma is something that can’t be done overnight. However, with a mental health professional’s help and ample support from loved ones, individuals can once again reclaim normalcy. Complete rehabilitation entails three phases for patients to fully recover.

  • 1st Phase — Safety and Stability: Your healthcare provider will communicate with you about your long-term needs. The patient must collaborate closely with their counselor to navigate the first phase of recovery — managing negative emotions, re-stabilizing themselves when confronted with triggers, and avoiding potential environmental stressors. Transcend’s partner company, The Heights Treatment, can provide further treatment through its relapse prevention services.
  • 2nd Phase — Remembering and Grieving: When a patient has regained a sense of safety and stability, their specialist will help them process their pain and realize what they’ve lost. This does not imply reliving the event but exploring and incorporating it in a safe setting.
  • 3rd Phase — Restoring Relationships: The patient will reach and celebrate emotional resolution with a mental health counselor’s assistance, helping them come to terms with and move on from their trauma. Specialists can recommend group reintegration activities to help them reconnect with their loved ones.
Outcomes

What Are The Success Rates Of Trauma Therapy?

The success rate for trauma therapy in mental health may range from 77% to 100% for patients who remain consistent with their behavior therapy sessions. This may involve cognitive processing therapy, talk therapy, and exposure therapy to treat trauma.

Through the help of a professional therapist, trauma symptoms may be completely alleviated. However, the types of trauma and the patient’s traumatic event must be considered before proceeding with any given trauma treatment. The behavior therapy involved must also be certified by a diagnostic and statistical manual to ensure that each procedure is safe for the patient.

Transcend and The Heights Treatment ensure that these components are significantly considered and thoroughly explained to the patient before proceeding.

How We Help

How Does Transcend Recovery Community Help Address PTSD?

Transcend Recovery Community works closely with its sister company, The Heights Treatment, in addressing trauma. The Heights Treatment’s programs — such as anxiety disorder treatment — are intricately designed by a team of mental health and trauma experts and comprise scientifically-backed practices that address particular problems that may arise due to experiencing traumatic events.

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) — A type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that attempts to change and process negative thinking patterns and encourages positive behavioral changes.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) — Exercises may last up to 90 minutes. The belief is that remembering a traumatic event becomes less intense/upsetting when the focus is shifted.
  • Art Therapy — An alternative therapeutic method that promotes healing and mental wellness through creative pursuits and expression.
  • Equine Therapy — A form of experiential rehabilitation that involves the bond between people and horses to facilitate physical or emotional rehabilitation from a traumatic event.
