Frequently Asked Questions
Is trauma-focused therapy confronting?
Sessions are paced to your comfort level. Nothing is rushed, and you process difficult memories only when you’re ready.
Can PTSD develop after a single event, or does it need repeated exposure?
PTSD can develop after a single traumatic event, though repeated or prolonged exposure to trauma increases the likelihood of it developing.
How soon can I be seen after a traumatic event?
Timing depends on clinician availability, though early support following a traumatic event can help reduce the risk of symptoms becoming long-term.
Will I need to describe what happened to me in detail?
Not immediately, and not more than you’re ready for. Trauma-informed clinicians work at your pace, prioritising safety before any deeper processing.
