PTSD/TRAUMA TREATMENT

Betrayal Trauma

Sometimes trauma isn’t caused by a single event, but by being hurt or betrayed by someone you deeply trusted—a partner, family member, or close friend. That kind of pain can feel like the ground has fallen out from beneath you. You may question everything you believed about yourself and others, or feel constantly on alert, afraid of being hurt again.

All of the same symptoms can appear—hypervigilance, numbness, flashbacks, mistrust, and disconnection—and they can make it hard to build or maintain relationships.

Trauma treatment can help you regain a sense of control over your life. One of the most important aspects of trauma counseling is to help you learn how to feel safe again. Therapy can help you understand and identify triggers and how to manage them so that you feel more in control.

The most important thing to remember about trauma therapy is that you are in control of what is worked through and discussed during your session. You never have to face anything that makes you uncomfortable, scared, or anxious.

Before you get anywhere close to trauma work, we will spend ample time preparing to work on your trauma and learning coping skills to manage it. When we do start to work on your trauma, we will work through small bits of memory at a time and never push you to work on anything you’re not ready to confront yet.

Our therapists are experts at Therapy Cincinnati to help people heal from trauma.
