Types of Emotional or Psychological Trauma

• Experiencing gun violence, car accidents, and terrorist attacks
• Military combat
• Assault, domestic violence, or abuse

Insight into Emotional Trauma and Addiction

Traumatic experiences, such as bullying, can cause psychological health issues that make you more prone to using substance use or alcohol as a coping mechanism. However, substance use or alcoholism often conceals the harmful symptoms and signs of traumatic experiences.

An emotional trauma therapy program at Recovery Mountain helps people struggling to overcome addiction and trauma live sober and healthier lives.

When you complete addiction wellness at our New Hampshire facility, you can stop using substances to numb severe depression and anxiety or mask trauma-related stress.

wellness for Emotional Trauma in a Safe and Comfortable Setting

To heal from psychological or emotional trauma, resolving the unpleasant memories and feelings you have long avoided is vital. You will also have to discharge pent-up “fight-or-flight” energy, rebuild your ability to trust others, and learn to regulate and control strong emotions.

An emotional trauma specialist at Recovery Mountain may use different therapy approaches for your wellness.

Somatic Experiencing

This therapy technique focuses on bodily sensations instead of memories and thoughts about the traumatic event or circumstances. By concentrating on what is happening in the body, our therapists will help you release pent-up trauma-related energy through crying, shaking, and other types of physical release.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR incorporates various elements and aspects of cognitive-behavioral therapy with eye movements and other rhythmic, left-right stimulation to “unfreeze” traumatic memories.

Cognitive-behavioral Therapy

This helps you process and assess your feelings and thoughts about a trauma. CBT teaches our clients coping techniques and skills to manage harmful thoughts or behaviors so they can lead a better life.

Our work usually starts with the assignment of a suitable wellness team sensitive to problems and issues related to emotional trauma, considering gender, family dynamics, and co-existing psychological, medical, and psychiatric issues.
