Question 1

What if I am not sure I am ready for Trauma therapy?

Accepted Answer

Feeling unsure is understandable, especially if you have tried to talk about it before. A first conversation can be about logistics and what you want, not the details of what happened. A licensed therapist can talk with you about what feels manageable. Read a few profiles of therapists in Santa Clarita who treat Trauma and PTSD and save the ones whose approach feels steady.

Question 3

Can I control the pace of Trauma therapy?

Accepted Answer
