Childhood Trauma Treatment in San Diego
For people suffering from childhood trauma-related mental health disorders, Solara Mental Health provides specialized, in-depth treatment. Our San Diego childhood trauma therapy program begins with comprehensive assessments, given by our compassionate clinicians and designed to give them a complete understanding of a client’s traumatic experiences and the effects those experiences have on their mental, emotional, physical and psychological health.
From an understanding, clinicians can create a wholly individualized treatment plan for each client, specifically tailored to address their experiences, symptoms and struggles. The expert clinicians at our mental health treatment center combine individual psychotherapy, group therapy, holistic therapies, psychotropic therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to create a treatment plan that is as comprehensive and effective as it is individualized. Through the expert care provided at our psychiatric center, clients will cultivate both the insight and the skills needed for them to process their experiences, heal and live a secure, peaceful, and fulfilling life.
Healing Old Wounds
Our experiences in childhood affect us deeply. In particular, traumatic experiences in childhood—such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse; seeing violence; divorce; natural disasters; and war—can have lasting psychological consequences, even years after the trauma is over. These psychological consequences can show themselves in a variety of mental health disorders, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, dissociative disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and can even contribute to the development of personality disorders.
Any of these disorders left untreated can have profound effects on people’s lives, leading them to feel alone and scared, unable to move past the trauma and lead a fulfilling life.
Healing childhood trauma might take help from a professional mental healthcare provider and therapist to alleviate symptoms of anxiety through a range of therapeutic modalities. A good mental health care provider should be able to guide the person dealing with trauma through their experiences and find resolution.
While a therapist or psychiatrist can provide the tools and insight one might need to get better, there needs to be cooperation and self-care on the patient’s part.
Some steps in healing one’s childhood trauma might include:
- Acknowledging childhood experiences and move past them through things like journaling, validation, affirmation, and self-forgiveness.
- Identifying and analyzing the neglect and considering the bigger picture surrounding the event or events.
- Identifying and analyzing your own reactions and perhaps self-harming manifestations that have risen from your developed habits.
- Embracing your emotions and owning them for the reality that they are.
- Mending your pain and trauma by being proactive about making a positive change in your life, or perhaps another person’s life, to build self-esteem, purpose, and fulfillment.
