EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EMDR is a set of standardized protocols that incorporates elements from different treatment approaches.
CPT
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a highly structured, evidence-based cognitive behavioral approach used to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by focusing on how trauma has led to stuck points—dysfunctional beliefs about safety, trust, power, and intimacy. The therapy systematically helps clients challenge and modify these beliefs through writing and cognitive restructuring, allowing them to integrate the traumatic event and reduce chronic distress.
SSP
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a non-invasive, therapeutic listening program rooted in Polyvagal Theory that uses specially filtered music to gently stimulate and regulate the middle ear muscles and the vagus nerve. The goal of SSP is to tone the autonomic nervous system, moving the client from a state of defensive arousal (fight/flight/freeze) toward a state of social engagement and calm, thereby enhancing emotional regulation and reducing stress sensitivity.
NET
Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is an empirically supported, brief treatment for complex and multiple traumas that focuses on reconstructing the individual's fragmented life story into a coherent, chronological narrative. The core process involves recounting the entire autobiography, focusing on the details of traumatic events and linking them with positive life events, using a lifeline metaphor. By processing the "hot spots" of trauma within the context of the whole life story, NET helps integrate painful memories and reduce PTSD symptoms.
