Our treatment model adheres to the well-established framework for trauma recovery which is comprises three principle phases:
Phase 1 – Safety and Stabilisation
- Experiencing trauma can alter your basic assumptions about safety and trust in the world, making it challenging to rely on others and to find a sense of inner calm.
- You and your therapist will work to build a therapeutic alliance and develop a toolkit of self-regulation and personal care strategies to help you feel grounded before processing through your traumatic memories.
Phase 2 – Processing and Grieving
- At this stage of treatment, you will begin to retell your experiences and process through the complex layers of associated thoughts, feelings and body sensations with your therapist.
- Patience and containment are key and each individual will work at a different pace.
- Through evidence-based interventions, you will work to construct a new interpretation of the traumatic memories, making adaptable and empowering narratives that restore your sense of self.
- This is a process of letting go in order to move forward.
Phase 3 – Reconnection and Integration
- The final phase of treatment is a consolidation of all your therapeutic progress and begins to enable you to reclaim a sense of pleasure, connection and purpose.
- You and your therapist will continue working to sustain the changes you’ve made and expand your emotional and relational world; forming enriching bonds with others and ultimately with yourself.
We recognise that the recovery process does not always follow a linear path.
Together we will weave through the various stages, responding to your unique needs and circumstances.
We offer a range of intervention plans from high-intensity support to more conventional weekly therapy.
