Trauma Therapy
Healing Through Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy focuses on helping you heal from past experiences that may be affecting your emotions, relationships, or overall well-being. At Ascend Holistically, we use two proven, evidence-based approaches—ART and IFS—to guide you through the healing process safely and effectively.
​
At Ascend, we understand that trauma leaves lasting marks on the heart, mind, and body. Whether it’s from a single painful event or long-term challenges, trauma can feel overwhelming and hard to release. But healing is possible. Our trauma therapy program uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to gently and effectively help you let go of the pain, restore balance, and find peace again.
How Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Works
ART is a breakthrough therapy that helps your brain process and resolve traumatic memories without requiring you to relive them. Using simple, guided techniques, ART works to change how your brain stores these painful memories, so they no longer cause distress.
How ART Helps You Heal:
-
Rewiring the Brain: ART uses a technique called bilateral stimulation, which involves following the therapist’s hand movements with your eyes. This calms your brain and helps reframe traumatic memories.
-
Rapid Results: Many people feel relief after just 1-5 sessions. ART helps you move past the pain quickly and gently.
-
No Retelling Required: Unlike some therapies, ART doesn’t require you to share all the details of your trauma, making it easier for those who feel overwhelmed.
Research Evidence: Studies show that ART is highly effective for treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related conditions, with many people experiencing lasting improvements.
How Internal Family Systems Therapy Works
How Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy Works
IFS focuses on understanding and healing the different “parts” of your inner self. Trauma often creates protective parts of us that hold fear, anger, or sadness. IFS helps you connect with these parts, offering them care and compassion so they can heal.
How IFS Helps You Heal:
-
Discovering Your Inner Parts: IFS teaches you to recognize the parts of yourself that may be stuck in pain or fear because of trauma.
-
Building Self-Compassion: You’ll learn to approach these parts with kindness, helping them feel safe and supported.
-
Healing From the Inside Out: By working with your parts, you can release old wounds, reduce inner conflict, and feel more whole.
Research Evidence: IFS has been shown to reduce symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety, helping people gain a deeper sense of peace and self-awareness.
