Trauma Therapy
Treating PTSD and other Trauma
Are Traumatic Memories Disrupting Your Daily Life?
Traumatic experiences often leave lasting imprints on our minds, making it difficult to move forward. Intrusive memories, nightmares, and flashbacks can disrupt daily life, causing distress and anxiety. You may find yourself constantly on edge or in fear of re-experiencing the trauma, affecting your ability to function at work, maintain relationships, or enjoy social activities. This constant state of alertness and worry can lead to emotional exhaustion, making it feel impossible to regain control and peace in your life.
Do You Feel Disconnected from Your Emotions and Others?
Trauma can make you feel detached from your emotions and those around you. You might experience numbness or a lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed, resulting in feelings of isolation. This disconnection can strain relationships with friends and family as you struggle to communicate and engage emotionally. It may seem like a protective mechanism, but often leaves you feeling alone in your journey toward healing.
Are You Struggling with Self-Blame and Guilt?
After a traumatic event, feelings of guilt and self-blame can surface, causing a cycle of negative self-talk and low self-esteem. You might replay scenarios, questioning if you could have done something differently to prevent what happened. These internal battles can overshadow the path to healing, cultivating a sense of unworthiness and hindering your progress toward recovery.
We understand that confronting trauma is challenging. At AugustaCBT, we provide a safe and compassionate space for you to explore, process, and heal from these experiences.

How does trauma therapy work?
Our trauma therapy is designed to meet your unique needs, beginning with an assessment to understand your experiences and symptoms. We use various methods, depending on what suits you best.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for trauma helps identify and modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, facilitating a healthier emotional response. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) focuses on challenging and altering negative beliefs related to trauma, promoting cognitive restructuring. Prolonged Exposure (PE) involves safely confronting trauma-related memories and stimuli to reduce their power over you. In some cases, we offer Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, which combines ketamine's effects with psychotherapy to foster profound healing and transformation.
Throughout your therapy journey, sessions are tailored to support your progress and comfort, enhancing your resilience and empowering you with effective coping mechanisms for long-term recovery.
