Trauma Therapist?
How I help people with trauma. Self awareness is the first step, IMO. When i meet with someone for intake we do all the things, gather history of trauma, things the client thinks might be contributing to the problems, etc. I enjoy this process - it's like spreading all the puzzle pieces out in front of you. The client's goals are the puzzle. I then provide psycho ed on the basic neuroscience of stress, wizard/lizard brain (I use this language with kids), subconscious mind driving behavior, prefrontal cortex decision-making and problem solving, etc. then I teach them how to use 10 deep breaths to consciously connect limbic brain with prefrontal cortex. Then we assign homework of breathing 3x day between sessions until it becomes an automatic coping strategy. There's so much more that goes into it, of course. I work this way because then the "trauma" is not the focus but the self-regulation is. How do you work with trauma? Make a post about it in the community if you like, we want to learn your method, too. 🎶🌸

Love this thread. 🙌 My trauma framework is built around something I call the G.R.O.W. Method — a simple 4-step structure I use to help clients move from dysregulation to integration. G – Ground- We start with nervous system stabilization. Breath, orienting, posture shifts, simple somatic tools. If the body isn’t safe, insight won’t stick. R – Recognize- We identify patterns without shame. What did your nervous system learn? What survival strategies are running the show? Curiosity over criticism. O – Open to Healing- This is where we gently create new experiences — co-regulation, corrective emotional moments, EMDR or other processing tools when appropriate. Small reps, repeated safely. W – Walking in Wholeness- integration in real life. Practice between sessions. Micro-adjustments. Building regulation in motion, not just in the therapy room. For me, trauma work isn’t about retelling the story over and over. It’s about increasing capacity so the story no longer controls the present. Curious how others structure their work around regulation + integration.
