TraumaAdapted

TraumaAdapted is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or other adverse childhood experiences. The approach is based on the principles of attachment theory and the work of Dr. Dan Siegel, who developed the concept of "adaptive" and "maladaptive" responses to trauma. TraumaAdapted focuses on building a secure attachment with a therapist, which is a crucial factor in healing from trauma. The approach emphasizes the importance of trust, safety, and emotional regulation in the therapeutic relationship. TraumaAdapted therapists use a variety of techniques, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), internal family systems (IFS), and mindfulness practices, to help clients process and heal from their traumatic experiences. The goal of TraumaAdapted is to help individuals develop adaptive responses to trauma, such as resilience, self-awareness, and the ability to regulate emotions, rather than maladaptive responses, such as avoidance, hypervigilance, and dissociation. TraumaAdapted is often used in conjunction with other therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to provide a comprehensive treatment plan for individuals who have experienced trauma.
