PTSD is treatable and requires interventions that lessen distress and promote relaxation.
The first step is to assess the level of trauma and associated symptoms. If your child/teen is a danger to themselves, this needs to be addressed first.
Once your child/teen has established safety they will begin to learn about trauma and learn skills for managing trauma symptoms.
Next, your child/teen will begin trauma-focused treatment using a variety of techniques to help them learn to stay relaxed and present while processing their experience.
Finally, the reduction of trauma symptoms will be assessed to determine the change in presentation and make a plan for treating continued challenges.
