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.

Question 2

How do I choose a therapy approach for Trauma?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

Do I have to talk about details in the first session?

Accepted Answer

It makes sense to worry about what a first session will ask of you.
