Healing Trauma, One Step at a Time

Recent research continues to reaffirm what many of us in trauma therapy have seen: structured, focused treatment works and it works well. A 2025 analysis reports that trauma-focused therapies like CBT and EMDR deliver an impressive 85% response rate, with nearly 40% of clients achieving full remission clear evidence that healing is more than possible, it’s probable when therapy is tailored and consistent.

“Trauma-focused therapies like CBT and EMDR show 85% response rates with around 40% full remission.”

That’s a statistic rooted in hope a reminder that, although PTSD and trauma can feel all-consuming, there are paths toward real relief.
