TRAUMA COUNSELING
Trauma Counseling in Sacramento
For Children
Trauma takes a physical and psychological toll. My clients have benefited from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) which is an evidence-based model for processing childhood trauma. It is effective in significantly improving children’s emotional and behavioral health while reducing PTSD, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
If your child is affected by witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event they may be showing symptoms mentioned below-
-
Lack of focus
-
Loss of interest in activities he/she generally likes
-
Daydreaming
-
Difficulty sleeping at night or staying asleep
-
Being defiant or angry
-
Getting emotional frequently or being numb
-
Hypervigilance
-
Change in eating habits
-
Low academic performance

For Adults
Trauma presentation in adults looks a little bit different. Although almost all the symptoms mentioned above remain the same the outcome looks different. The physical effects of trauma are related to significant health issues like diminished function of the immune system or increased risk of blood pressure and heart failure. The psychological effects of trauma can result in increased risk-taking behavior, substance abuse, loss of employment, relationship issues, eating disorders. Feeling hopeless, helpless, or giving up is also common.
