Question 1

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

A licensed therapist can talk with you about what feels manageable. Read a few profiles of therapists in Houston who treat Trauma and PTSD and save the ones whose approach feels steady.

Question 2

What kinds of therapy are used for PTSD?

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.
