When does it make sense to complete a special program?

If you frequently suffer from stressful re-experiencing of what has happened.
If there is strong avoidance behaviour and withdrawal due to the traumatisation.
For example, if you need to keep yourself constantly busy to avoid remembering.
If you suffer from increased startle response due to the traumatization.
If you frequently regulate feelings triggered by memories with so-called dysfunctional behaviour (e.g. self-harm, alcohol and drug use, aggressive behaviour, suicidal tendencies).

What can you expect in the trauma consultation?

After the first interview, you will be asked to fill out various questionnaires.
The interview will last about 75 minutes. First, it is important that you briefly describe your current problem. Following this, a diagnostic interview will be conducted with you.
If there is an indication for treatment, we will discuss with you in the feedback interview (usually a second appointment will be arranged for this) which treatment options we offer and which prerequisites are necessary for this.
The outpatient diagnostic interview is the first step if you wish to participate in DBT trauma therapy on Ward 22. This is a full inpatient treatment program.
You may also be offered to participate in a research project. Our working group "Trauma Consequence Disorders" conducts various studies, e.g. to better understand the mechanisms of action of psychotherapy or to develop and evaluate questionnaires for a better diagnosis of trauma symptomatology.
