Question 1

What if I am not sure I am ready for Trauma therapy?

How do I choose a therapy approach for Trauma?

Accepted Answer

You do not need to choose a method before you start, and the options can feel like a lot.

Question 3

Can I control the pace of Trauma therapy?

Accepted Answer

Having a say in the pace can matter a lot when the subject is painful.
