What is Trauma Therapy?
Trauma therapy is a type of therapy to help people process and recover from difficult life experiences. These experiences may include difficulties from childhood, domestic violence, sexual assault, unexpected grief and loss of a loved one or miscarriage, betrayal, or other relationship challenges that caused distress. The goal of trauma therapy is to assist people in understanding and managing their emotional responses to trauma, reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and improving their overall mental health. Techniques often involve creating a safe and supportive environment, allowing individuals to explore their trauma at their own pace, and developing coping strategies to manage the lingering effects of the traumatic event.
Signs you need trauma therapy:
* Feeling stuck by difficult experiences that happened in the past.
* Having a hard time letting go or moving on.
* Having a childhood where you felt misunderstood, treated harshly or not listened to.
* You have experienced difficult relationships and felt hurt or betrayed by them.
* Experiences with verbal, emotional, physical, or sexual mistreatment and abuse.
* Easily triggered by current experiences that make you feel you are reliving a situation from your past and feel shaken up.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, meeting with Dr. Takamoto might be a good fit for you.

How Trauma Therapy Works
It’s time to release the pain from difficult life experiences.
Trauma therapy works by providing a structured and supportive environment in which individuals can safely explore and process their traumatic experiences. Therapists use a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to the needs of the individual.
The therapy process often begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship to establish trust and safety. As individuals feel more secure, they gradually confront and work through their traumatic memories and related emotions.
Throughout this process, therapists help individuals develop coping strategies and resilience, enabling them to manage symptoms, reduce distress, and ultimately integrate the traumatic experiences into their life narrative in a healthier way.
Dr Takamoto specializes in working with your inner child, the unexpressed feelings and needs of your younger self. The therapy process involves identifying the feelings and practicing new ways of thinking and responding which often results in feeling more empowered, authentic and at peace. This can help you get "unstuck" and achieve a more gratifying and purposeful life.
