Accreditation Matters!
Firstly you need to get the basics right….How do you know who to choose as your therapist – what helps you decide?
• Word of mouth is a good start – a recommendation of a good experience depth of knowledge and positive outcomes.
• Looking for the skills that match the problem you have – what experience do they have, what qualification and background in mental health have they got?
• Do they live locally – are you happy to see someone via a video link, telephone or would you prefer to see someone face to face. This will influence the therapist you choose.
• Cost does come into it – are you able to sustain the sessions – how much can you realistically afford – the rates for a good experienced therapist will vary – geographics will play a part in this also.
• Once all of these aspects have been considered – look for therapist’s accreditation.
Individual CBT Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has become one of the leading approaches to psychotherapy and this is down to the evidence-based research and recovery outcomes. As soon as clients learn how CBT works, they can find that it can easily be applied to their own lives
CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are constantly interacting and influencing one another. How we interpret or think about a situation determines how we feel about it, which then determines how we’ll react with our behavior.
BraintrainersUk offers Individual CBT therapy within The Sussex coastline .We also offer Skype and telephone sessions.
What treatment is available for PTSD?
The main treatments available for people with PTSD are Psychotherapy, medication or a combination of them both. Everyone is different, and treatment that is effective for one person may not be for another. Some people might need to try different treatments to find the one that works in reducing the symptoms.
No matter what option you choose, it is important for anyone experiencing PTSD to be treated by a Mental Health Professional and is experienced with working with people with PTSD.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is evidence-based therapy that has been found to be the most effective treatment for PTSD. CBT for PTSD is trauma focused, it focuses on identifying, understanding, and challenging thinking and behavioural patterns. The skills learnt through the weekly CBT sessions are encouraged to be practiced repeatedly outside of the therapy times. This helps to support symptom improvement
BraintrainersUK are experienced in mental health as Nurses and Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapists
EMDR
The EMDR therapy uses Bilateral stimulation, right/left eye movement, or tactile stimulation, which repeatedly activated the opposite sides of the brain, releasing emotional experiences that are trapped in the nervous system. This assists the neurophysiological system, the basis of mind and body connection, to then let go of blockages and be able to reconnect itself
Medication
Antidepressants such as Paroxetine, Sertraline, Mirtazapine or amitriptyline are sometimes used to treat PTSD in adults. Of these medications, only Paroxetine and Sertraline are licensed specifically for the treatment of PTSD. But mirtazapine and amitriptyline have also been found to be effective and may be recommended as well.
