What kind of therapy is best for trauma?

The best therapy for PTSD or trauma depends on your age. For adults, therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE) have been shown to be effective in helping people process and heal from traumatic experiences. If you're a parent looking for help for your child or teen, Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is can be a good option.

A licensed therapist with experience in trauma treatment and PTSD is recommended. Psychiatrists can also provide medication management.
