In our third part to the Understanding Trauma series, we look at some of the different treatments used in therapy to address trauma, we take a better look at things you can do on your own, and we talk about why these approaches can be effective.

SHOW NOTES/LINKS:

One treatment approach we didn't discuss, but is often used is called "Seeking Safety". If you'd like to find more information about Seeking Safety, you do that here: https://www.treatment-innovations.org/faq-ss.html
