About First Session
What is Rapid Trauma Processing?

Rapid Trauma Processing refers to therapeutic techniques designed to help resolve traumatic memories efficiently. Unlike traditional talk therapy that may take many months, these approaches use specific protocols to help the brain reprocess trauma in a condensed timeframe. Methods may include eye movements, bilateral stimulation, or other techniques that facilitate natural healing processes.

What are the benefits of rapid trauma approaches?

Rapid trauma approaches may offer several benefits. They often require fewer sessions than traditional therapy, making treatment more accessible. Many techniques minimize the need to verbally recount traumatic details, which some people find less distressing. These approaches work with the brain's natural healing capacity, potentially leading to lasting resolution of traumatic memories.

Who might benefit from rapid trauma processing?

People who have experienced trauma and want efficient, effective treatment often explore rapid processing methods. These approaches may appeal to those with PTSD, single-incident trauma, childhood trauma, or distressing memories they want to resolve. People who find detailed verbal processing of trauma overwhelming sometimes prefer these less talk-intensive methods.

How do I find a rapid trauma processing therapist?

While our network of rapid trauma specialists is growing, you can explore therapists on First Session who offer evidence-based trauma therapies. Look for training in EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, or other specialized trauma approaches. These methods share the goal of efficient trauma resolution and have research support.

Are there related approaches I could explore?

EMDR is one of the most researched rapid trauma approaches. Brainspotting uses eye positioning for trauma processing. Somatic Experiencing releases trauma through body awareness. Flash Technique is a newer rapid intervention for disturbing memories.
