CPTSD: Reclaim Your Life from Complex Trauma

Healing from Complex Trauma with Integrative, Science-Backed Methods

Have you experienced repeated trauma, especially in childhood or within close relationships? Do you struggle with overwhelming emotions, a harsh inner critic, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and others? You may be dealing with Complex PTSD (CPTSD), and there is hope for healing.

At Denver Emotional Health, we specialize in helping individuals overcome the lasting effects of complex trauma. We understand that CPTSD requires more than traditional therapies. That’s why we offer a unique, integrative treatment approach combining Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and, when appropriate, psychedelic-assisted therapies. This combination, backed by cutting-edge research and tailored to meet your unique needs, provides a powerful path to healing, helping you break free from the grip of your past and create a more fulfilling life.

Why Choose Denver Emotional Health for CPTSD Treatment?

Specialized Expertise in Complex Trauma:

We are trauma specialists, not just trauma-informed. Our team has an in-depth understanding of the nuances of CPTSD and how it impacts your emotional, relational, and physical well-being. Many clients come to us after limited success with conventional therapies like talk therapy or basic exposure techniques. Our integrative approach tackles the deeper, more complex roots of trauma.

Cutting-Edge, Personalized Treatment Approach:

We don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we tailor our treatment to your specific needs, drawing from:

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS helps you understand and heal the different “parts” of yourself that carry the pain of past trauma. By fostering self-compassion and accessing your core Self, you can create inner harmony and resolve the internal conflicts that fuel CPTSD symptoms.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Exposure: ACT helps you develop psychological flexibility, allowing you to accept difficult emotions without judgment while committing to actions aligned with your values. Integrated exposure techniques help you gradually face and overcome trauma-related fears and avoidance patterns.
• Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy: For appropriate clients, we offer legal psychedelic-assisted therapies, including ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Used as a powerful tool in conjunction with IFS and ACT, psychedelic medicine can catalyze profound shifts in perspective, facilitate access to deeply held emotions, and accelerate the healing process. Ketamine can be a helpful tool to augment IFS and/or exposure work.

• Proven Results, Even for Resistant Cases: Our specialized protocols are designed for individuals who haven’t found relief elsewhere. Whether your trauma is recent or deeply rooted in your past, we offer the most effective, evidence-based trauma treatment available.

Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of CPTSD

CPTSD often develops after prolonged exposure to trauma, particularly relational or developmental trauma. It manifests in a variety of emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms. Common signs include:

• Emotional Dysregulation: Difficulty managing overwhelming emotions, such as anger, sadness, or anxiety.
• Negative Self-Perception: Feelings of shame, guilt, worthlessness, or a deep sense of being flawed.
• Relationship Challenges: Difficulty trusting others, forming close bonds, or setting healthy boundaries.
• Dissociation: Feeling disconnected from yourself, your body, or your surroundings, sometimes experiencing depersonalization or derealization.
• Loss of Meaning or Purpose: A pervasive sense of hopelessness, emptiness, or detachment from your core values.
• Intrusive Symptoms: Flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts related to past trauma.

Types of Trauma We Treat

Complex PTSD (CPTSD): We specialize in treating CPTSD resulting from prolonged or repeated trauma, including emotional, physical, or mental abuse, often occurring in childhood or within close relationships.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): We use our integrative approach to address the symptoms of classic PTSD, whether from a single traumatic incident or ongoing exposure.

Dissociative Trauma: If past trauma has led to involuntary dissociative episodes or feelings of detachment from reality, we offer a supportive and effective treatment plan.
