Physical traumatic experiences can leave lasting physical and emotional scars, requiring comprehensive support to promote healing.

Emotional trauma can lead to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulty forming and maintaining healthy relationships.
Childhood Trauma refers to adverse experiences occurring during childhood that have a lasting impact on a person’s development and well-being. Examples include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, household dysfunction, parental substance abuse, or domestic violence. Childhood trauma can significantly affect cognitive, emotional, and social development, often resulting in complex challenges throughout adulthood.
Traumatic Loss or he loss of a loved one can cause significant trauma, especially if it occurs suddenly or under traumatic circumstances. Examples include the death of a family member or friend due to accidents, violence, suicide, or natural disasters. Traumatic loss can lead to intense grief, guilt, and a range of emotional and psychological challenges that require support and healing.

Treatments Offered at True Self Recovery
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a therapeutic technique offered at True Self Recovery that aims to identify, process, and release trauma and other emotional blockages stored in the brain and body. This innovative approach utilizes the brain’s natural ability to heal itself by focusing on specific eye positions, called “brainspots,” which correspond to traumatic or emotionally-charged memories. By accessing these brainspots, the therapist helps individuals process and resolve any underlying trauma or traumatic experiences, leading to a reduction in distressing symptoms and promoting overall healing and recovery.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
True Self Recovery also provides Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based treatment that facilitates the rapid resolution of trauma-related symptoms. ART combines elements of different therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, eye movement techniques, and guided imagery. Individuals can safely process traumatic memories and transform negative perceptions and emotions associated with the traumatic event by engaging in ART. This treatment is known for its efficiency, allowing individuals to experience significant relief and progress in a relatively short period.
Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy (EMDR) is a widely recognized and effective treatment method for trauma and other distressing life experiences. At True Self Recovery, EMDR is available as part of the Trauma-Informed Care approach. EMDR involves bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tactile sensations, while guiding individuals through structured protocols to reprocess traumatic memories. This process facilitates the integration of distressing memories, emotions, and beliefs, leading to their transformation and the restoration of psychological well-being.
