Frequently Asked Questions
Who can benefit from support for trauma survivors?
Partners, spouses, parents, siblings, and close family members of people who have experienced trauma can benefit from guidance. If you want tools and strategies to understand trauma and navigate your relationship while caring for your own well-being, this support is for you.
What does a session focus on?
Sessions focus on helping you, as a partner or family member, understand trauma, explore ways to communicate and connect, and develop strategies for your own emotional and mental health. These sessions are supportive in nature.
Is this therapy, and will insurance cover it?
The focus is on you — not on diagnosing or treating the trauma of your loved one. While it is supportive and may resemble therapeutic work, it would be considered supportive guidance rather than formal therapy, and therefore typically does not qualify for insurance reimbursement.
