Effective trauma work requires matching the specific type of trauma (childhood abuse, neglect, familial, combat, corporal, or complex) with the appropriate therapeutic orientation demonstrated to be effective for that type of trauma.

Each incidence of trauma exists on a case-by-case basis, and there is no one typical timeline for success in the treatment of trauma. The approach to treatment and the experience of relief will vary depending on the individual and the nature of the trauma.
