Trauma and PTSD Therapy in Cary, NC

Types of Trauma Therapy We Offer

Our team at Prism Wellness uses several proven therapeutic modalities to help clients heal from trauma and PTSD:

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): EMDR helps process traumatic memories by using guided eye movements. This therapy can reduce the emotional charge associated with those memories and make them more manageable.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps clients recognize and challenge negative thought patterns related to their trauma. It encourages healthier ways of thinking and coping with difficult emotions.
• Somatic Work: This body-focused approach helps individuals process trauma by releasing physical tension stored in the body, allowing them to feel more grounded and present.
• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): MBSR incorporates mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and anxiety, helping clients manage their emotional responses to trauma triggers.
• Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP) is used to help individuals process trauma by combining low doses of ketamine with therapeutic support. It can promote rapid relief from trauma symptoms, allowing clients to explore and process traumatic memories in a safe, controlled environment. 
• Internal Family Systems (IFS): IFS helps individuals understand and heal their inner "parts" or subpersonalities, fostering self-compassion and inner harmony by engaging with these parts.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages individuals to accept difficult emotions while committing to actions aligned with their values, promoting psychological flexibility.
• Prolonged Exposure (PE): PE is designed to treat trauma by gradually exposing individuals to trauma-related memories and stimuli to reduce emotional distress over time.
• Polyvagal Therapy: Based on the Polyvagal Theory, this therapy aims to regulate the nervous system by fostering a sense of safety, especially for those dealing with trauma and emotional dysregulation.
• Expressive Arts Therapy: For children, teens, and adults who may have difficulty verbalizing their emotions, we offer expressive arts therapy as a creative outlet to explore and process their feelings. This approach integrates art forms like drawing, painting, music, and movement to help individuals express complex emotions and experiences in a non-verbal way.
  

Is Trauma Therapy Right for You?
