Unfortunately there are times when kids and teens experience unexpected trauma. Trauma for kids or teens could be death of a loved one, hospital stay or medical challenges that lead to trauma or fears, car accident, dog bite, kids of divorce, unstable home environments, absent parenting, frequent moves or illness.
Trauma therapy for kids & teen can help them to process feelings, body sensations, thoughts, imagery and beliefs before they start to develop unhealthy coping strategies and before their negative neural pathways become too rooted in beliefs of feeling incapable, worthy, unsafe, etc.
In my work with children and teens processing these traumatic or significant life events I incorporate emdr & brainspotting therapies with play and art therapy. This allows my clients to process their traumas in a safe way; allowing negative thinking to clear and making more room for positive or helpful thoughts and adaptive thinking.
