“Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults is a type of mental health treatment. It's used to help people who have experienced trauma find ways to manage hurtful behaviors and emotions. The goal of this therapy is to help the person create a life worth living. This post will cover what Trauma-Informed CBT for adults is, when it is used, and how it helps people recover from PTSD and traumatic experiences. Living a full and satisfying life after trauma is possible.

Trauma therapy can help people with PTSD as well as other trauma-related mental health issues. It builds on the inner strengths someone already has. Therapy helps someone develop a sense of safety as well as skills to handle the impact of trauma.  As a result, the patient can work through the mental health issues keeping them stuck. The therapist must tailor the treatment to the type of trauma the patient has experienced, whether it's been ongoing, and who was involved.

Trauma-informed therapy for adults is different than that used with traumatized children and teens. Due to how our brains, bodies, and emotions develop at different stages, treatment for children and teens has to be appropriate to the child's needs and age.  Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT Treatment) is used with children and teens who are dealing with trauma or PTSD.  It requires specific training that focuses on supporting the child while addressing issues related to their family as well as the circumstances they are living in. “

Trauma-informed mental health therapists know how to create a sense of stability and safety for traumatized people.  This group is at higher risk for developing substance abuse disorders, mental health issues, and medical illnesses. Trauma-informed therapists also understand the deep impact trauma has on every area of life. They are trained to tailor their behavior, words, and treatment approach based on a person’s needs, personality, and triggers.
