From Surviving to Thriving: Overcoming Trauma with the Right Therapeutic Support in Mancos, CO

Trauma, whether caused by an ongoing hardship or an isolated event, leaves deep emotional wounds and can make everyday life feel overwhelming. At Mancos Valley Center for Trauma and Attachment in Mancos, Colorado, we help individuals navigate their painful experiences and find ways to recover through compassionate, evidence-based trauma therapy. Here’s how therapeutic support can guide you from surviving to truly thriving.

Causes and Symptoms of Trauma

Traumatic events, such as natural disasters, loss, neglect, abuse, violence, or medical issues, can leave a person in a state of hypervigilance and significantly impact how the brain processes information. Those with trauma may experience:

• Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks
• Panic or anxiety
• Feelings of fear
• Irritability
• Depression
• Feelings of numbness or avoidance

While trauma is different for each person, individuals usually have specific triggers for their symptoms. These emotions can be challenging to manage alone—but an empathetic therapist can help you overcome them and move toward a brighter future.

Therapy for Trauma

The therapists at Mancos Valley Center for Trauma and Attachment use effective treatments for trauma and PTSD, including EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and EMDR intensives. EMDR identifies unresolved trauma and helps clients reprocess their memories using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping, to reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories. EMDR intensives are offered in extended sessions, which is ideal for those seeking accelerated progress to address trauma in a shorter timeframe.

Other Therapeutic Modalities

In addition to EMDR, we take a multi-faceted approach and can incorporate the following into our sessions:

• Ego-state therapy
• Internal family systems (IFS)
• Brainspotting
• Yoga and movement-based therapy

Expressive arts can also help clients explore their emotions and encourage deeper healing.
