About Trauma Therapy
At Abbington House, we recognise that many individuals struggling with addiction have a history of unresolved trauma. Our Trauma Therapies are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can confront and heal from their past. We offer specialised therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), all of which are proven to help individuals process trauma and reduce its emotional impact.
Our approach is trauma-informed, meaning that we are sensitive to the needs of those who have experienced trauma, ensuring that their treatment is compassionate and non-judgemental. We believe that healing trauma is a key component in breaking free from addiction. At Abbington House, we are committed to providing the care, understanding, and tools you need to move forward, empowering you to reclaim your life from the grip of past traumas.
