Not sure what to expect from Transforming Trauma?
We want everyone to receive the support that suits them best. To help you understand the differences between each stage, we’ve created three short descriptions to guide you.
|
Safety and stabilisation. Before addressing trauma, individuals need to establish a secure base. This stage focuses on reducing self-destructive habits, managing intense emotional responses, and developing coping strategies for flashbacks or dissociation. The aim is to help individuals regain control of their body and everyday life. For example, this may include learning grounding techniques, creating a safety plan, developing a daily routine, practising breathing exercises, and identifying trusted people or services to contact during distress. |
|
Processing trauma safely, remembrance and mourning. Once a stable foundation is in place, individuals begin to explore trauma in a safe, controlled environment. This stage focuses on confronting memories, understanding the impact of the experience, and working through the grief and loss associated with it. The aim is to reduce the emotional intensity of the memories, so they no longer disrupt present life. For example, this may include talking through traumatic memories at a manageable pace, using creative or reflective exercises, recognising triggers, processing feelings of grief or anger, and identifying how past experiences affect current relationships and choices. |
Reconnection and integration. In the final stage, individuals integrate their experiences into their life story rather than allowing trauma to define them. This stage focuses on moving forward, developing a renewed sense of identity, building resilience, and creating meaningful connections with others. The aim is to support individuals to reconnect with themselves, others, and their wider community. For example, this may include rebuilding confidence in everyday routines, reconnecting with supportive family members or friends, returning to education, volunteering or employment, and using coping strategies when reminders of trauma arise.
