Trauma Intervention

Integrative evidence-based techniques and the latest research into treatment using the CBT model from a biblical perspective. Use of tests and evaluations from Dr. Daniel Amen founder of Amen University, Dr. Becky Bailey founder of Conscious Discipline, and Dr. Fay founder of Love and Logic. Apply CBT case conceptualization and adapt it to a variety of disorders, including anxiety, mood disorders and trauma. Practice behavioral activation, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills techniques. Utilize re-parenting techniques to change self-defeating behavioral patterns.

CBT is a structured, problem-solving and skills-based, not necessarily insight-oriented, although, it can be combined with insight-oriented approaches. CBT thought records and worksheets to identify negative self-talk, automatic thoughts, assumptions, and core beliefs. The counselor is an educator, coach, and collaborator, who helps clients identify & change dysfunctional thoughts & behaviors. The client is a teammate who, eventually, learns to be his or her own therapist.

The counselor will emphasize collaboration and active participation. The sessions are goal-oriented and problem-focused. We will initially emphasize the present, that is, we will examine here & now problems, regardless of diagnosis. That said, we will examine early life experiences in the context of their impact on current problems and beliefs.The approach will include a strong psycho-education component and emphasis on relapse prevention. Therefore, homework is a critical component. Our aim is to be time-limited. We will work on creating a routine for new pattern development or new neuroppthway so that, it can used by the client without the intervention of the counselor.
