In today’s fast-paced world, many people struggle to find the time or resources for in-person therapy sessions. This can be especially true for those seeking trauma therapy, which can be a deeply personal and emotionally demanding experience.
Fortunately, technology advancements have opened doors to new and effective ways to deliver therapy, including online trauma therapy. At Aguilera Psychology, we offer a safe and confidential space for our clients to heal from their past experiences, through online trauma therapy sessions.
But can trauma therapy be just as effective virtually as it is in person?
Research suggests that online therapy can be an effective modality for treating trauma. A 2019 study found that online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) was just as effective as in-person CBT for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Here are some of the benefits of online trauma therapy:
- Convenience & Accessibility: Online therapy allows you to attend sessions from the comfort and privacy of your own home. This can be especially helpful for people who live in remote areas, or have difficulty traveling.
- Reduced Stigma: There may be less stigma associated with attending therapy online, which can encourage more people to seek help.
- Flexibility: Online therapy can be more flexible than traditional therapy, allowing you to schedule appointments around your work or childcare commitments.
