Frequently Asked Questions About Trauma Therapy
Get answers to common questions about trauma therapy therapy in Fairfield, CA.
What is EMDR and how does it treat trauma?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective, research-backed therapy for trauma. It uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR doesn't require you to describe trauma in detail, making it less distressing.
How long does trauma therapy typically take?
Treatment length varies based on the type and extent of trauma. Single-incident trauma may resolve in 6-12 sessions, while complex or developmental trauma typically requires longer treatment. Many clients experience relief from the most distressing symptoms within the first few EMDR sessions.
Is trauma therapy emotionally overwhelming?
While processing trauma involves some emotional work, EMDR is designed to be manageable. We proceed at your pace, and I teach stabilization techniques before trauma processing begins. Most clients find EMDR less overwhelming than repeatedly talking about their trauma.
