Process Your Past in Your Own Way With Virtual Trauma Therapy at Image & Likeness in Maitland, FL

The team at Image & Likeness Counseling wants to emphasize a crucial point before we get into any details: every individual processes and reacts to distressing or potentially harmful situations in their own way. What one person may register as a traumatic experience may not adversely impact another person, and that’s okay. We are all different. Every situation we enter is colored by our past experiences, resiliency skills, and other factors that are unique to us. If you’ve had an upsetting experience and can’t seem to shake the effect it has on you, therapy for trauma recovery may be beneficial. You can learn more about the ways that trauma may impact you and how telehealth trauma therapy at Image & Likeness Counseling in Maitland, Florida, can help on this page.

Do I Need Therapy for Trauma, or Is My Response Healthy?

It bears repeating that if you experienced something that you perceived as traumatic and it’s having negative effects on you, it is traumatic. It doesn’t matter if other people think it’s traumatic or if anyone else involved seems okay. This is why therapy for trauma and trauma counseling are tailored to meet each person’s specific needs and experiences. It’s also worth stressing that you will never be shamed when you visit the Image & Likeness Counseling team. We will never say you don’t have anything to be traumatized by; if you are experiencing side effects of trauma, we are here to help.

If you believe your response to trauma is a natural, healthy emotional and behavioral response to something upsetting, you may be right. However, even a natural response to trauma may be difficult to manage in your day-to-day life. You could notice that you are:

  • Feeling hypervigilant
  • Reliving the experience
  • Avoiding things because they trigger a negative response

Perhaps you are generally unable to overcome the ways that the traumatic experience impacts you. If this occurs, you should consider trauma therapy.

Can Therapy Help with Trauma?

Many people who have a traumatic experience don’t seek out therapy right away. There are numerous reasons for this. Some think it’s not necessary and that they’ll get over it on their own. Others think they shouldn’t be struggling because other people who had similar experiences were fine. Whatever the reason, it’s important to understand that therapy isn’t just for people who have no other choice or those who are experiencing a severe crisis. Image & Likeness Counseling does help people in these situations, but we also work with people who simply want to begin alleviating negative symptoms of trauma.

Even if you can manage the impact of trauma on your own, you don’t have to. Therapy creates space to process the way that trauma is impacting you and take the first steps to resolving and healing from traumatic experiences. During sessions, a trauma therapist can help you develop strategies to manage your symptoms as they arise as well as heal permanently. It’s not easy, but working together with your counselor, you can learn new skills and strategies to increase resilience and address the effects of trauma for good.

What Do I Do to Get Started?

Trauma’s negative impact on day-to-day life may be easy to ignore, at least at first. However, when the effects don’t diminish with time, they can truly be detrimental to your well-being. If you’re ready to start healing, reach out to Image & Likeness Counseling to schedule an online trauma therapy session with our knowledgeable therapists in Maitland. We look forward to supporting you on your therapy journey!
