Treatment for Childhood Trauma

Children who experience trauma are at a high risk of forming life-long problems associated with the trauma that can significantly impact their happiness and well-being. A traumatic event can be a singular incident like a car or bicycle accident or multiple incidents at the hands of parents, siblings, or their peers. Treatment for childhood trauma requires intimate knowledge of the client and the traumatic event(s) that are having an impact. There are several mental health treatment programs available to treat childhood trauma and other mental health disorders.

UNDERSTANDING CHILDHOOD TRAUMA

Children who experience childhood trauma don’t have the necessary coping skills to process the feelings caused by the event. They don’t know that it’s OK to talk about their feelings or to tell on someone who is bullying them. If they experience repeated traumatic events such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, it will significantly impact their mental health throughout their lives and cause them to treat others in the same way.

Some of the common types of childhood trauma include:

Accidents
Natural disasters
The sudden loss of a mother, father, or sibling
Physical or sexual assault
Peer pressure
Cyberbullying
COVID-19 pandemic
Sexual exploitation

At Crestview Recovery, our behavioral therapists and counselors have experience with childhood trauma treatment for adults. Our therapists and counselors will work individually with each client to develop healthy coping skills. Furthermore, they’ll show clients how to communicate their feelings in an appropriate way. They will then participate in group and individual therapy for a more well-rounded treatment experience.

EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR CHILDHOOD TRAUMA

It’s never too late to start treatment for childhood trauma. Men and women whose lives are impacted by a single or multiple traumatic events in their past can still get help treating the childhood trauma no matter how old they are. In addition, starting treatment today will improve many aspects of their lives and give them confidence in managing their symptoms.

The most effective treatment for childhood trauma involves several types of therapies:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy

CBT is one of the most effective forms of behavioral therapy for childhood trauma treatment in adults and children. It helps clients understand the relationship between their thoughts and behaviors and how it controls their actions.

Dialectical behavior therapy

DBT is for clients whose symptoms are causing suicidal thoughts and other self-harming behavior. Therapists and counselors work with clients to develop a new positive outlook for themselves and the world around them.

Family therapy

Another essential treatment for childhood trauma is family therapy. It gives everyone in the family mental health support. Furthermore, it teaches them how they can become a part of the recovery process.

Medication-assisted treatment

There is no medication to cure childhood trauma. However, medication can reduce many of the symptoms related to it. Medical staff will administer medication and monitor each client’s reactions to minimize any negative side effects.
