Childhood Trauma

Childhood trauma encompasses a range of distressing experiences that can impact a child's emotional and psychological development. These experiences may include abuse, neglect, loss, or witnessing violence. Children may struggle with feelings of fear, anxiety, and low self-esteem as a result of these events. In therapy, we create a safe and supportive environment where children can express their feelings, learn to process their emotions, and gradually rebuild trust in themselves and others.Through talk therapy, we help children explore their thoughts and feelings related to their trauma. We employ techniques such as play therapy, which allows children to communicate through play and storytelling, making it easier to discuss difficult topics. Additionally, we focus on skill-building strategies that promote resilience, coping mechanisms, and emotional regulation. By equipping children with these tools, we empower them to navigate their emotions and foster a sense of safety and security in their lives.
