Trauma and PTSD Support Groups in Denton, TX

Our Rising Strong group aims to emphasize the resilience and strength that emerges from difficult experiences, and to help foster hope and empowerment for teens who may be struggling with trauma. We understand that life can be difficult at times, but we believe that a community of friends and educators who have gone through similar experiences can make all the difference. Whether it's navigating relationships, dealing with family issues, or coping with mental health concerns, our group offers a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where teens can share their thoughts and feelings, and receive support from others who understand.

We know what it’s like to be a client. We know how scary it is to trust a stranger with your deepest thoughts and darkest secrets. That’s why we at 92 Reasons have a slightly different approach. As counselors, we have the education, experience, and state approvals, but before we help, we take time to allow each person to describe their situation because we can't help if we don't know who we're helping. We strive to work with each client to meet their mental health, personal, and professional goals. We're simply here to help.

Trauma and PTSD Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
