What trauma therapy treats
Trauma therapy treats what stays behind after a frightening or overwhelming event.
The World Health Organization names psychological treatment as the first choice for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 1. Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy and EMDR have the most evidence.
Treatment usually includes preparation, and work on the memory itself comes later. It is for people whose symptoms have persisted.
Not everyone who has been through something bad needs it. Ask a practitioner which approaches they are trained in.
What psychotherapy works on, and how long it usually runs
Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.
A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.

Who registers therapists in France?
The title you will see is Psychothérapeute. Search the register by name at Agence du Numérique en Santé - Annuaire Santé (RPPS/ADELI). Check that the name and title match and that the entry is current. If they do not, ask the practitioner why.
In France the law reserves the psychologist and psychotherapist titles rather than the activity, and each protected title has its own official list.
