Woven Trauma Therapy consists of a group of therapists that love reading (and watching Bravo). Of course, there’s lots of reading for the trauma care we provide to our patients, but we also love a good fiction story. It helps us get out of our heads and into another world. We’ve curated our reading list for fiction for the fall of 2021. Come read with us.

At Woven, we specialize in relational, depth-oriented therapy approaches that provide a solid foundation for the delicate and challenging work of Complex PTSD treatment. Here, I describe 3 Steps we use to address CPTSD for our Clients, sharing in detail what this style of treatment looks like. I also explain the role of grief work in treating complex PTSD.

In trauma work, I hear this question all the time. Understandably, people want to know why it matters if they grieve the past (or present) or not. Moreover, people worry about being overcome or undone by their grief, should they let it out. This process can be difficult, but grieving is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal to heal childhood wounds and other trauma across the lifespan.

There are many benefits of trauma therapy for teens, but here are the most significant takeaways you can expect.

I’m guessing you’re here because you’ve been shaken by something in your life, and you’re considering asking for help. There are many different types of support out there so I am going to help break it down for you and detail what trauma therapy even looks like, so you can decide if it’s right for you.

Myth: You need to be in a crisis to seek therapy.

Truth: There is nothing wrong with seeking help with anything you might be going through.

Trauma healing happens in big stages. There can be a lot of small ups and downs within these stages, but healing generally unfolds in this way.

Beginning trauma therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating.  In fact, those who have experienced trauma may have the most difficult time beginning therapy because their experiences have been so confusing and overwhelming. Keep these things in mind before beginning the journey of overcoming trauma.
