You CAN Trust People Again. Trauma Therapy Works.
After trauma, trusting others can seem impossible. Or, you may give people your trust automatically as a way of attaching to an unhealthy ideal of what someone should be. Sadly, this can happen in therapy as well. Our top priority is establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Expert trauma therapists at Bridger Peaks will help you navigate this new normal.
At Bridger Peaks Counseling, we address trauma and PTSD with a holistic lens. This means we will help you understand the developmental and event based traumas in your life. We can look at these experiences as a part of the whole picture of your life story.
EMDR for Trauma Therapy and PTSD Treatment
One of the ways our therapists can assist your care is by using EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, for trauma therapy. This form of therapy helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. EMDR therapy has been extensively researched and has demonstrated effectiveness for trauma. To learn more about the way we use this approach for trauma treatment, read about EMDR at Bridger Peaks.
