Childhood trauma can occur to an individual during childhood (infancy to 18 years old) when they have experienced a frightening, dangerous, or violent event—or series of events. A child may also experience trauma from witnessing a traumatic event happening to a loved one. While trauma does not always cause lasting effects, some children will suffer the repercussions from these traumatic events for years to come, causing both physical and mental health issues throughout their adult life.

Adults who have experienced childhood trauma may encounter difficulties in establishing relationships or maintaining work, sometimes suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and/or other mental health conditions.

People suffering from these symptoms can benefit from residential treatment tailored specifically for childhood trauma.

Childhood Trauma Treatment Overview


For adults suffering from the effects of childhood trauma, professional care is needed to help process and cope with the trauma. Mental health professionals will diagnosis all symptoms to come up with a treatment plan individualized to your specific childhood trauma.

Trauma therapy is especially effective for treating childhood trauma. In addition, alternative and holistic therapies may be used to help reduce the symptoms of the trauma. Residential treatment for childhood trauma will help clients achieve long-term sustainable change to overcome their symptoms and regain normal healthy social function.

The prognosis for those suffering from childhood trauma is good. With a commitment to the residential treatment process, as well as continued therapy after active treatment, it is possible to achieve lasting change.

Integrated Treatment at Bridges to Recovery


Since trauma can happen in many different ways, the symptoms people experience vary; therefore, it is vital to have a careful screening by a professional mental health clinician. Once screened thoroughly, you will be prescribed an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Treatment plans for childhood trauma normally include:

  • Trauma-focused therapies. Trauma therapy helps individuals process the unique symptoms of trauma, especially in childhood trauma. Clients will learn about the trauma, understand triggers, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and reduce symptoms.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is often used to help patients learn to process and cope in healthy ways by retraining their thinking patterns.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EDMR). This type of therapy helps patients process the troubling memories and change how their brain is storing them. Therapists utilize directed eye movements to unlock damaging emotional and behavioral patterns and replace them with healthier alternatives
  • Family therapy and education. Therapy that involves your family may be a great way to help educate the people most important to you about your childhood trauma and about how they can best support you.
  • Relaxation and mindfulness techniques. Alternative and holistic therapies may also be used to treat childhood trauma. Most commonly, meditation, yoga, and exercise are administered.
