Trauma Stabilisation
Trauma stabilisation is a critical first step in the treatment of individuals who have experienced complex or prolonged trauma, such as childhood abuse, domestic violence, or combat stress.
This phase focuses on helping individuals regain emotional stability and safety before diving deeper into trauma processing.
In trauma stabilisation, Dr. Marta work with clients to establish grounding techniques, self-regulation strategies, and coping skills that empower them to manage overwhelming emotions, flashbacks, or dissociation. The goal is to help clients regain a sense of control and safety, creating a stable foundation for future therapeutic work. This approach is always trauma-informed, ensuring that treatment is sensitive to the individual's history and needs, with a focus on pacing the work to avoid retraumatisation.
