I interviewed 3 therapists specialized on trauma on it. One said, she did not think so, the other 2 suggested trauma-therapy. But I also read trauma is not the same as having PTSD. |
here where I live and work (NY, USA) PTSD is a mental disorder, symptoms are things like flashbacks, panic, anxiety, nightmares...
Trauma is an event that causes PTSD examples ...war, tornadoes, abuse, earthquakes, tsunamis, ... any life altering event can cause a person to have PTSD symptoms.
Trauma therapy is meeting with a mental health treatment provider / attending therapy based classes to address the issues you have from a traumatic event..
example I had a traumatic event happen during work, that work related event caused me to have PTSD (panic attacks, nightmares, anxiety, flashbacks). my therapy for this was called trauma therapy because it addressed the issues I had with the traumatic event ...I talked with my therapist about what happened, and we made a treatment plan to address the panic attacks, nightmares, anxiety and flashbacks I was having due to the traumatic event that happened during my job.
