Happy Wednesday, everyone! In the midst of a busy week, think of 3 things that you're grateful for on this Wednesday. Remember, it's possible to find inner peace even when you're not physically alone.

I'd also like to take a second to introduce myself. I am Carrington Wright, a graduate student at North Carolina A&T State University. This is my third (and final) year in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program, and I will be working with Lesia to gain experience as a practicum student.

While healing from Trauma is no easy task, it is certainly doable. In fact, it becomes easier to realize that healing is possible once you take the first step. You just might be wondering how this journey begins. At Essence of Hope Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC, we utilize the Three Stages to Trauma Recovery to support adults through trauma. There are several steps in the process that can lead to improved wellness after traumatic experiences. 

In the first stage of the journey, we begin by helping clients to establish personal safety. This includes promoting good self-care, teaching emotion regulation (i.e.,acknowledging
and working through feelings and reactions that are related to  the trauma), disscussing  maladaptive thinking, and helping the client
learn more about inner strengths.

Moving on to the second stage, there are two main steps. The first involves processing the trauma. Next, clients must mourn losses created by the trauma. 

Finally, in stage three, clients learn to develop new beliefs about themsselves, and they learn ways to reconnect in the world by engaging in meaningful activities. We also encourage reconnecting with supportive people. While this seems like it might be the end of the therapeutic journey, we go a step further and support clients in creating a resilience plan in order to ensure continued success.   

If you have experienced a trauma, and you believe that you could benefit from such a strategy, please call us at Essence of Hope Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC today!
