Episode 10: Trauma-focused therapy for adults, when It’s Used?
Episode 10
Tuesday, 20 October, 2020
Anyone who has experienced a single or repeated experience of sexual, physical, or mental abuse or who has developed post-traumatic symptoms, depression, or anxiety as a result of the loss of a loved one or exposure to violence in the home or community can benefit from TF-CBT. If a child or adolescent also exhibits serious behavioral, substance-abuse, or suicidal-ideation problems, other forms of treatment, such as dialectical behavior therapy, may be more appropriate as an initial intervention and can be followed up with a trauma-sensitive approach. WARNING: Look for a licensed mental health professional with specialized training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as further training and supervised experience in trauma-focused therapy. In addition to these credentials, it is important to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable working. References U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
