We who offer therapy at the Trauma Center aim to help both individuals and families process reactions to difficult or traumatic life events. Psychological traumas are events and experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope and disrupt our rhythm and balance.
Our therapists offer a number of different methods to help you create, or recapture, harmony, security and insight into yourself and important relationships. With us, we work to see the whole person in all their complexity and adapt the treatment to your experiences and needs. Couples and families are also welcome.
Many may wonder whether they have experienced a trauma and whether they need trauma treatment. Traumatic events disrupt our physiological and psychological system and this can lead to errors leading to new and more peaceful relationships and situations. At the Trauma Centre, we help people notice how traumatic events may have affected you, and we treat all emotional reactions after experienced overwhelming events.
What is overwhelming and what reactions become troublesome varies between us people. Some events, such as violence, serious accidents and sexual assault, will often affect people to such an extent that there may be a need to get help from a professional. Major life crises, losses, or other events that suddenly change everyday life, likewise.
Sometimes relationships in important relationships can lead to overwhelming stress or affect self-esteem and the body, and for children insufficient care, strong criticism or long-term exclusion such as bullying can turn into traumatic wounds. In adulthood, both the events themselves and the ways in which people have tried to protect themselves can lead to emotional difficulties.
Anyone who wants help with processing reactions and feelings linked to stressful experiences can seek treatment from us. However, we are not an acute psychiatric service. It is easy to book an assessment meeting where we can find out together whether our offer is right for you.
Some common reactions to highly stressful and overwhelming events are:
We believe in man's inherent ability to heal himself in a secure relationship. With us, we strive to see the person behind the symptoms. We have broad knowledge of evidence-based forms of therapy and follow newer methods under development. We have knowledge of therapy with children and young people, adults, couples and families, and special expertise in therapy with refugees.
We offer several trauma-specific forms of therapy that include the body in talk therapy (EMDR, body-oriented therapy, trauma-sensitive yoga and extended exposure). In addition, we offer both intensive short-term psychodynamic therapy (ISDTP) which helps to understand and deal with conflict-filled emotions that arise in relationships, and Internal family system therapy (IFS) which aims to acknowledge, accept and embrace several aspects of oneself.
We have two offices in the city centre:
- Øvre Slottsgate 7, 0157 Oslo
