What is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)?
Unlike traditional therapies that may only scratch the surface, TF-CBT delves deep into how trauma affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Throughout our sessions together, the TF-CBT modality will combine cognitive and behavioral techniques to empower individuals in their journey toward healing.
Key Components of TF-CBT:
-
Psychoeducation in TF-CBT involves gaining a deeper understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and body. Clients learn about the effects of trauma and effective strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and hyper-vigilance.
-
Skill Building in TF-CBT focuses on developing practical coping skills to regulate emotions, reduce stress, and enhance communication. These skills empower clients to navigate stress reactions and challenging situations more effectively.
-
Trauma Narrative in TF-CBT involves gradually confronting and processing traumatic memories in a safe and supportive environment. By exploring these memories, clients can gain a sense of mastery and control over their past experiences.
-
Cognitive Restructuring in TF-CBT helps clients identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs stemming from the trauma. The goal is to replace these with healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking.
-
Gradual Exposure in TF-CBT involves gradually approaching trauma-related stressors in therapy sessions. This approach reduces avoidance and fear responses over time, helping clients regain a sense of safety and control.
