Trauma can stem from deeply distressing events such as abuse, loss, accidents, or violence, affecting a person’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Individuals with trauma often feel overwhelmed and experience serious mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The good news is that there are ways to heal the wounds and regain hope for the future. With specialized therapies like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), the therapists at Mancos Valley Center for Trauma and Attachment in Mancos, Colorado, support clients on their journeys to recovery. 

What Is Trauma Therapy?

Trauma therapy is designed for individuals with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other trauma-related symptoms. By focusing on and addressing underlying issues, trauma counseling helps clients reclaim their lives and provides lasting relief. The therapists at Mancos Valley Center implement various therapeutic techniques tailored to each client, including:  

EMDR & EMDR Intensives

EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) uses guided eye movements to reprocess distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. EMDR intensives take this treatment further by delivering concentrated sessions over a shorter period to provide expedited relief. 

Ego-State Therapy

Ego-state therapy is particularly effective for PTSD treatment. It works with different “parts” or “ego states” within a person to resolve conflicts, learn coping skills, and improve emotional resilience. 

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal family systems (IFS) involves exploring and harmonizing subpersonalities, or inner “parts.” IFS helps individuals heal from past traumas and develop a stronger, more compassionate relationship with themselves. 

Brainspotting

Brainspotting identifies specific eye positions linked to traumatic memories so individuals can process and release emotional distress held deeply within the brain. 

Expressive Arts Therapy

Expressive arts therapy helps individuals explore their emotions and heal from trauma through creative activities like painting, music, dance, and writing.
