At the Trauma Center, we are building a competence center for trauma psychology.
We offer cutting-edge patient care, in addition to teaching, education and guidance of health professionals.
We also work at the societal level, aimed at a deeper cultural understanding of how trauma psychology can be the basis for everyday problems and larger societal lines of conflict.
We consider this knowledge to be crucial for public health and future generations.
Trauma treatment can not change your story, but can radically change the imprint that has settled on your body and mind.
Through trauma treatment, the body, brain and heart finally process the traumas, rather than being stuck in fear, avoidance, symptoms and destructive mindset.
The trauma center conducts teaching in trauma psychology for clients, relatives and health professionals. We offer everything from individual online courses to continuing education in trauma treatment.
The trauma center at Psykologvirke has some of the country's leading psychotherapy supervisors on staff, and runs extensive guidance in trauma treatment and for the therapist's own health.
All too often, it is far from the research front to clinical practice. At the Trauma Center, we want new knowledge to benefit clients as quickly as possible.
By combining established treatment models with the most up-to-date research, we tailor a treatment based on solid therapy models and findings from innovative research.
We participate in research into MDMA and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and implement lessons from this field into our thinking.
Traumatic events that may need treatment are physical and psychological violence, bullying, accidents, long-term conflicts or illness. This also applies if the trauma has affected someone close to you.
One can define trauma as stressful events we have not been able to process, which create symptoms or make it difficult to function.
We have experienced that unprocessed trauma is in the background of most people who apply for therapy, even though one may not think of the events as traumatic.
We have put together a team that combines several evidence-based treatment models for trauma, such as trauma-focused cognitive therapy (TF-CBT), EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ISTDP (intensive dynamic short-term therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems) and more.
Regardless, the treatment is based on your ailments in everyday life, and is tailored so that you will regain confidence, security and freedom to function in everyday life and express yourself freely and creatively with others.
Broad clinical experience combined with deep knowledge of the human mind enables us to be able to help more people and go deeper into the treatment.
