FAQs About Trauma Therapy in Sioux Falls
FAQs About Trauma Therapy in Sioux Falls
What’s the difference between trauma and PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a clinical diagnosis with specific criteria. It can develop after trauma, but not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD. Trauma is a broader term for the impact that overwhelming or threatening experiences have on the nervous system and sense of self. Both are treatable, and you don’t need a formal diagnosis to benefit from trauma therapy in Sioux Falls.
Will I have to talk about everything that happened?
You set the pace here. Your therapist will never push you to disclose more than you’re ready to share. Some of the most effective trauma approaches, including EMDR, don’t require detailed verbal recounting of events. You can heal without reliving the past.
What is EMDR, and how does it work?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they lose their intensity. It uses bilateral stimulation — typically guided eye movements — while you briefly hold the distressing memory in mind. It’s not hypnosis, and it doesn’t require you to describe the event in detail. Our EMDR-trained therapists will guide you through it according to your comfort level.
