Transforming Trauma-Related Thoughts: A Self-Compassionate CBT Approach
Trauma doesn’t just leave memories—it can reshape how a person thinks, feels, and makes sense of the world. Trauma-related thoughts may surface long after the event, often triggered by fear, shock, or moments of overwhelm. For many, this leads to cycles of rumination, avoidance, and emotional exhaustion.
At Healing Voices Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), grounded in self-compassion, can help break this cycle. By learning to understand and gently challenge trauma-related thoughts rather than fear them, individuals can build emotional resilience and move toward genuine healing.
