Introduction:
Trauma has a profound impact on both the mind and body, and at BCOGNITIVE, we are committed to helping individuals heal from the long-lasting effects of traumatic experiences. Our trauma counselling services include evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), delivered via telehealth, home visits, or in-person sessions.
The Science of Trauma Treatment:
EMDR is one of the most well-researched therapies for trauma, particularly for individuals suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). A comprehensive review by Shapiro (2014) confirmed that EMDR leads to significant reductions in trauma-related symptoms, with long-term benefits. EMDR helps individuals reprocess traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity, allowing them to integrate these experiences into their lives without being overwhelmed.
Trauma-Informed CBT is another evidence-based approach that has been proven effective in reducing trauma symptoms. A study by Cohen, Mannarino, and Deblinger (2006) found that Trauma-Focused CBT significantly improved outcomes for individuals with trauma, especially children and adolescents. This approach focuses on helping individuals understand how trauma has impacted their thinking and behaviour, providing them with tools to manage distress and regain control over their emotions.
BCOGNITIVE’s Trauma-Informed Care:
At BCOGNITIVE, we offer telehealth trauma therapy that provides clients with the flexibility to access therapy from a safe and comfortable environment. We also offer home visits for those who prefer face-to-face sessions and in-person therapy at our clinics. Our trauma counselling incorporates personalised therapy aids, including grounding tools, calming exercises, and self-care books, to support clients between sessions. These tools help individuals manage their symptoms and maintain progress throughout their recovery journey.
Conclusion:
Healing from trauma is possible, and at BCOGNITIVE, we provide the expertise, tools, and compassionate care needed to guide clients through this process. With evidence-based therapies like EMDR and Trauma-Informed CBT, combined with flexible care options, BCOGNITIVE is a leader in trauma recovery across Australia.
