Trauma Treatment
He that conceals his grief finds no remedy for it.
— Turkish Proverb
The Trauma Treatment program at ONE80CENTER is designed to foster a safe and supportive environment where real healing can begin. Each individualized program at ONE80CENTER is tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. When an individual experiences trauma, the event can throw them into a dangerous tailspin, continuing to haunt their lives until the root cause is treated. Trauma and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) lead directly to an increase in anxiety and depression. Alcoholism and addiction can be manifested in the survivors of untreated trauma as coping mechanisms.
ONE80CENTER considers the treatment of trauma to be an essential step on the path of recovery. The integrative and individualized programs offered are tailored to treat each client holistically. Our Treatment Team offers a safe hand to guide our clients onto the path of sustainable recovery. By providing focused individual attention, we foster a personalized program that helps resolve the fear and pain of the trauma survivor. Through the use of EMDR, Psychodrama and Equine Assisted Therapy, the road of a trauma survivor’s recovery is supported by the very best in modern treatment.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapeutic treatment that was designed to alleviate the suffering and long-term symptoms associated with traumatic memories. EMDR facilitates processing of traumatic memories in order to foster a safe resolution. After successful treatment, the affects of traumatic disorders are often alleviated. ONE80CENTER’s clinical staff believes that EMDR is a key component in helping the trauma survivor walk the path of healing and sustainable recovery.
EMDR has been backed not only by the American Psychiatric Association, but also by the United States Government as well:
“The United States government has recommended EMDR for the treatment of trauma populations at all times – EMDR has a broad base of published case reports and controlled research which supports it as an empirically validated treatment of trauma. The Department of Defense through the Department of Veterans Affairs Practice Guidelines have placed EMDR in the highest category, recommended for all trauma populations at all times.”
Psychodrama
By engaging a trauma survivor through role-play, Psychodrama allows the process of healing can begin in a safe and controlled environment. By becoming more spontaneous in the expression of the past, the trauma survivor experiences a sense of freedom. The work of acting out and role-playing facilitates insight, personal growth, and integration. The trauma survivor makes sense and meaning out of long buried emotions and places them into personal and relational context. At ONE80CENTER, only trained clinical staff facilitates Psychodrama interactions. The pieces of the puzzle begin to fit together as the trauma survivor learns about how they feel in a safe environment that promotes insight. Psychodrama is a key part of our multi-faceted and integrative treatment approach.
Equine Therapy
Equine Therapy promotes personal exploration of feelings by providing a metaphoric experience with horses to promote emotional growth and self-awareness. Research has shown individuals participating in Equine Therapy can improve their ability to face difficult issues while promoting healthy relationships. As very intuitive animals, horses are non-judgmental without expectations or motives. Naturally engaging in a healthy connection with the trauma survivor, a horse fosters therapeutic progress and insight. At ONE80CENTER, our highly trained Equine Therapists make the sessions engaging and enlightening as we gallop into recovery.
