Trauma-Informed Therapy recognizes the prevalence of trauma and the severe impact it can have on a person’s health and happiness. While some clients may immediately tell their therapist about their traumatic experiences, many are not comfortable sharing their experiences or may not be aware of the impact that it has had on them. A trauma-informed therapist approaches each client with the assumption that they have experienced some type of trauma and maintains a safe environment to empower the client to heal.
