What is Trauma Treatment?

Trauma treatment, also called Mental trauma therapy, is a specialized therapeutic technique that enables an individual to cope with the emotional as well as mental effects that emerge due to traumatic incidents. It creates a protective and trusted setting where an individual can openly communicate what he is going through without fear of judgment to find out the healing remedies. To better understand, let’s discuss what trauma exactly is:

Understanding Trauma 

Trauma occurs when a person goes through an event that leaves deep emotional and mental scars on his personality for a long period. It affects his ability to deal with things, as everyone does not respond in the same manner. Evidence suggests that approximately 70% people are affected by trauma-induced complications in their adulthood at least once. Not all people respond to the exact condition in the same manner. 

Types of Trauma

The following are the trauma’s types:

  • Acute Trauma: Trauma induced due to a traumatic incident. 
  • Chronic Trauma: The trauma that persists due to repetitive occurrences of traumatic activities like prolonged mistreatment, intimidation, or toxic relationships. 
  • Complex Trauma: Emerges because of persistent contact with various distressing events. 
  • Secondary/ Viscarious Trauma: It’s a kind of trauma that is encountered indirectly, which means experiencing second-hand distress from a beloved one who is the actual victim. It can be a reason for developing PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) symptoms, though not experienced directly. 

Trauma-Related Disorders

These are psychological conditions that arise due to exposure to distressing incidents. The type and extent determine which disorder appears and the way it affects an individual. Below are the disorders’ types:

ASD (Acute Stress Disorder) PTSD alike symptoms, including restlessness, have a short duration. It emerges within 3o days after a distressing incident; if not treated, it might lead to PTSD. 
Adjustment Disorders (ADs) Over-sensitivity to stress, Emotional turmoil, hopelessness, and agitation.  Initiated by a major life challenge, disrupt routine activities.
RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) Disconnection, restricted emotions, despair, rage.  Popular among children who suffer from neglect and insufficient nurturing. 
DSED (Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder) Over-socialize with unknown persons, no boundaries set.  Common in children who have gone through abandonment and stress, they face trouble in forming healthy attachments. 
Other Specified / Unspecified Trauma Disorders Uncleared and irregular characteristics outside typical classifications.  Traumatic signs exist, but are not sufficient to diagnose

How is Truma Treated?

Trauma treatment is of immense use, and it teaches a person to have control over his emotions. The kind of treatment one must adopt is influenced by trauma type, its seriousness, and personal outcomes. Some general methods to treat trauma:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

It helps people to be aware of the nature of their trauma and deal with negative perceptions associated with what they are suffering from. 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):

Via regulated eye motion, it eases the emotional burden and is ideal for PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder).  

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE):

With time, it facilitates people to deal with upsetting memories, creating a sense of inner healing.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT):

It is crafted specifically for children as well as teenagers, merging thoughts and action-based techniques employing soothing strategies to manage trauma. 

Somatic Experiencing (SE): 

It concentrates on how a body is impacted by trauma. It benefits people to move on from stored stress and reestablish calmness and control.

Group Therapy: 

It is effective in building a positive environment for genuine discussion and empathy from others who have faced similar complications. 

Medication:

Therapists also prescribe certain medications, such as depression-relief drugs and anti-anxiety medications, to manage stress. 

Mental Health Conditions That Occur Side by Side

People who are already suffering from mental health problems become sensitive to other related ailments too. Several people start taking drugs and even go through suicidal thoughts to handle their intense emotions if they are not addressed in the first place. For instance, PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) usually occurs with depression, and it has a higher risk of generating disorders that make a person completely detached from reality. It negatively impacts every sphere of life, ranging from everyday life to work to sleep, and ultimately to health. Constant pressure and stress lead to mental illnesses, weakening the body’s immune system, and can even alter the hippocampus that regulates the emotional side and memory of humans. 

Cost of the Treatment

Trauma treatment session fee is priced between 400AED and 1200AED. It varies due to a range of factors like therapy kind and timeline, therapist’s expertise, concern’s intensity, and whether solo or shared sessions are acquired by the patient.
