What Does a Trauma Counselling Session Look Like?

During a trauma counselling session, you will meet with a therapist to discuss your experiences and feelings. The therapist will help you to understand your trauma and how it has affected you. They will also work with you to develop coping strategies and create a plan for moving forward. Common questions typically asked in a Trauma Counselling Session include the following:

  • What happened during the trauma?
  • How did the trauma make you feel?
  • What are your thoughts about the trauma now?
  • What are your reactions to triggers?
  • What have you been doing to cope with the trauma?

Based on your answers, the therapist will work with you to develop a plan for trauma counselling. This plan may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, or other evidence-based treatments.
