Supporting someone through trauma recovery takes patience. These tips can help you be there for them effectively.
When someone shares their trauma with you, the most powerful response is simply believing them. Don’t question, minimize, or try to fix it — just listen and validate.
Trauma survivors need to process at their own pace. Let them know you’re available, but don’t pressure them to share details before they’re ready.
Understanding that hypervigilance, emotional numbing, and avoidance are normal trauma responses — not personal rejection — helps reduce frustration and builds empathy.
Trailhead offers monthly Zoom family education groups. Open to all family members 18+, past and present clients. Curriculum covers trauma responses, communication, and supporting recovery.
Secondary trauma is real. Seek your own therapy, maintain boundaries, and prioritize your mental health. You can’t support someone else from an empty well.
Trauma recovery isn’t linear. There will be good days and hard days. Your consistent, calm presence matters more than having the right words.
Our family support program is open to all family members 18+. Call (857) 312-1697
It’s painful when someone you love won’t accept help. Here are steps that can make a difference.
Avoidance is a core feature of trauma. Refusing treatment may not be stubbornness — it may be the trauma itself making them afraid to face what happened.
Express concern without judgment. “I’ve noticed you seem to be struggling...” instead of “You need to get over this.” Validate their experience.
Boundaries aren’t ultimatums — they’re statements of what you will and won’t accept. Enforce them consistently while honoring the difficulty of their experience.
A full treatment program may feel overwhelming. Suggest they just make one phone call, or attend one session. Reducing the perceived barrier can open the door.
If there’s immediate danger — suicidal ideation, severe dissociation, or threats of self-harm — call 911. For guidance on next steps, call us anytime.
Our admissions team can guide you through next steps — even if your loved one isn’t ready yet.

We provide trauma-informed care for clients throughout Salem, NH, and Greater New Hampshire. Conveniently located just minutes off Route 93 with dual NH/MA licensing.
Trauma-informed care recognizes that trauma affects the whole person — mind, body, and relationships. Every aspect of treatment is designed to promote safety, trust, empowerment, and healing without re-traumatization.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma. It helps you identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs (stuck points) that developed from traumatic experiences, leading to lasting symptom relief.
No. Many people are deeply affected by trauma without meeting full PTSD criteria. If traumatic experiences are impacting your daily life, relationships, or wellbeing, you can benefit from trauma-informed care.
SSRIs are the first-line medication for trauma and PTSD. Prazosin may be prescribed for trauma-related nightmares. Our on-site NP manages all medications and adjusts them throughout treatment.
Yes. Trauma is one of the most common underlying drivers of substance use disorders. Many people self-medicate with drugs or alcohol to numb painful trauma memories. We treat both conditions simultaneously.
