It often involves exploring past experiences, identifying patterns, and developing coping mechanisms.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals heal from traumatic experiences by re-processing traumatic memories. It involves recalling disturbing events while receiving bilateral stimulation, like side-to-side eye movements, which can reduce the vividness and emotional impact of the memory.

Trauma-informed therapy is a therapeutic approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and incorporates this understanding into all aspects of treatment. It shifts the focus from "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?", acknowledging that trauma can significantly affect an individual's mental and emotional well-being. This approach emphasizes safety, trust, and empowerment, fostering a therapeutic environment where clients can process their experiences without fear of re-traumatization.

Humanistic therapy is a type of psychotherapy that emphasizes the individual's inherent capacity for growth, self-understanding, and personal fulfillment. It focuses on the present moment and the client's subjective experience. The core idea is that individuals have the potential to make positive changes and find meaning in their lives. 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as naturally composed of multiple "parts," each with its own unique perspective and role. IFS therapy focuses on understanding and working with these parts, rather than trying to eliminate them, to foster healing and integration. It emphasizes the importance of connecting with the "Self," a core aspect of the individual characterized by qualities like compassion, curiosity, and clarity, to guide the healing process.

Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that focuses on the connection between mind and body, aiming to release tension and trauma stored within the body. It integrates psychotherapy with physical therapies and mind-body exercises to help individuals become more aware of their physical sensations and release emotional blockages.
