A typical plan working with trauma is to establish safety and stabilisation. We discuss the symptoms of the trauma, talk about why the symptoms are occurring and discuss tools to work through them, whether that's panic attacks, social anxiety, fear of abandonment, trust issues or more severe symptoms like flashbacks, or nightmares.
