FAQ’s about trauma therapy in Denver, CO

How do I find a trauma therapist in Denver that is a good fit?

One of the first things that people do is find a therapist that aligns with their world view, their values, i.e. LGBTQ + will look for a member of their community, Christians will look for a Christian counselor. These things define your identity and the way you filter your life experience. Another common first question is “Do you take insurance?” Money, payment and finances are an important up front discussion. 

What do you want your life to look like after trauma therapy?

I ask “How can I help you” and “What do you need help with?” That means you need to have an idea of your goals, what area in your life is a priority? It’s good to keep your goals within your realm of power to change. That means, your goals have to be specifically about how you want to change and may involve changing your circumstances. 

How long will trauma therapy take?

The next important consideration is how many times a month or week will you commit to? I work intensely with clients, that means a weekly basis on the same day and at the same time. This helps you progress visibly and encourages you to keep working on things in bite-size or meal size amounts. This prevents burnout and treading water.

 I am here to help, even if you want to throw the towel in after 6 weeks. I can empathize with feeling tired and the frustration with yourself, God, others, including your therapist. Change is commitment and literally work. You will feel more alive, aware, and think harder than you thought possible. It’s so life-giving to get to know yourself and to find things you like and love.

Will I relive the trauma in therapy?

Trauma therapy is not about reliving the trauma. Couple trauma therapy does not have to be full of conflict. I use two tools, Prepare/Enrich and mind/body to help direct you through and to the other side of the normal discomfort and fears of chaos. You want to understand yourself and the people around you, right? Trauma therapy helps you start living your full range of emotions; to briefly experience negative emotions stored in your mind and body in order to open yourself to positive emotions that God wants to fill you with.
