What Is Gender-Specific Trauma Care?

Traumatic events can hold us back in almost every aspect of our lives. If you’ve experienced trauma in your life, the best way to overcome that trauma is through therapy. Gender-specific trauma care provides therapy with a special focus on traumas particularly related to each gender, and it is very important when seeking treatment for mental health issues or substance abuse.

Studies have shown that men and women are likely to experience different types of traumas in their lives. While men are more likely to experience trauma in general, women are more likely to experience trauma related to sexual and partner abuse. Because men and women experience different kinds of trauma, gender-specific trauma care is tailored to meet the needs of both individual groups and address the sources of their traumas.

Goals of Gender-Specific Trauma Care

Gender-specific trauma care seeks to provide:
  • Relief of shame - It is common to feel a sense of shame surrounding traumatic events. However, in gender-specific trauma care, we seek to dispel this sense of shame and improve self-esteem and self-image.
  • Reclamation of power - Traumatic events can leave you feeling like you no longer have control over your own life. With this type of trauma care, we seek to put you back in the driver’s seat and put the trauma behind you.
  • The trajectory for success - It can be difficult to feel like you can move forward and make new plans and goals while still reliving the trauma of the past. Working to put that trauma behind you in a healthy way can enable you to move forward and begin to make plans for the future.
  • Memory reflection - By reflecting on your traumatic memories in a safe environment you can begin to work through them. We seek to provide that safe environment and the resources you need to address your trauma.

Why Seek Gender-Specific Trauma Care?

Gender-specific trauma care could be beneficial in comparison to generalized trauma care in a number of ways, including:

  • It is tailored to your individual needs, meaning you could have a greater chance of a breakthrough.
  • For both men and women who have trauma related to the opposite sex, gender-specific trauma care alongside other participants of the same sex could feel like a safer environment in which to undergo trauma therapy.
  • It could enable you to recognize trauma in those around you and educate you on how to interact with them.
