The term “cured” may not be the most accurate way to describe the healing process when it comes to trauma. While it may not be possible to entirely erase the memories or effects of a traumatic experience, the goal of trauma therapy is to reduce the emotional distress, negative thoughts and dysfunctional behaviours associated with the trauma, allowing individuals to develop healthier coping strategies, build resilience and move forward. In this sense, while a complete “cure” may not be attainable, significant healing and personal growth are possible.
