What are the 5 principles of trauma informed practice?
The five principles that guide trauma informed therapy are safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. These principles ensure that therapy does not retraumatize and instead fosters a healing relationship. At Anchor Health, we integrate all five so clients feel supported, respected, and empowered to grow.
What are the 6 principles of TIA?
The six principles of the Trauma Informed Approach (TIA) are safety, trust and transparency, peer support, collaboration and mutuality, empowerment with voice and choice, and cultural sensitivity. These principles shape how trauma informed therapy is delivered, reminding us that healing requires both compassion and awareness of cultural and historical context.
What is the difference between trauma therapy and trauma informed therapy?
Trauma therapy is a specialized treatment that directly focuses on processing traumatic experiences through structured methods such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, or trauma-focused CBT. Trauma informed therapy, on the other hand, is a broader framework that makes any therapeutic process safe and sensitive to trauma, even when trauma is not the primary focus. At Anchor Health, we combine both, offering trauma informed therapy as the foundation while providing trauma-specific treatments when needed.
