Effectiveness of Trauma Treatment in the Specialist Health Care Services

Psychotherapy with EMDR. A therapist guides the client in recalling distressing events while simultaneously following a stimulus, like a moving light or tapping. The idea is that this bilateral stimulation helps reduce the intensity of the traumatic memory, allowing clients to gain perspective and lessen emotional distress associated with it. The standard treatment protocol includes up to 24 weekly sessions.

"Psychotherapy with CT-PTSD. A therapist works with the client to understand how they interpret their trauma and identify distorted thinking patterns that fuel their PTSD symptoms. Through guided discussions, written exercises, and sometimes re-living the trauma in a controlled way, clients learn to reshape these beliefs, gain a more balanced perspective, and reduce symptoms like hypervigilance, flashbacks, and avoidance behaviors. The standard treatment protocol includes up to 24 weekly sessions."
