As Wicked said, it really depends on the therapist. EMDR is a common approach that helps resolve trauma fairly quickly and doesn't envolve a lot of intense reliving of the past. It uses bilateral stimulation, left to right eye movements. ETC to get both sides of the brain envolved in processing the trauma. If you google trauma therapists in your area you could probably get a sense of the different approaches out there and what might be best for you.
