PTSD and Trauma
Therapy for Traumatic Events
There might have been a significant incident that altered the course of your life.
Traumatic experiences where you felt endangered, or feared for your life. You witnessed or personally endured a traumatic event that can leave enduring impacts on your mental and physical well-being.
War, loss, assaults, abuse, medical problems, and accidents are examples of events that can imprint themselves on your psyche long after their occurrence.
PTSD is a consequence of trauma.
When trauma occurs, it can lead to the development of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). PTSD manifests in triggers that cause you to relive the traumatic experience from the past. With PTSD, you may constantly feel on edge, making it challenging to trust others and even yourself. Joy feels distant, and life can often seem shrouded in a fog.
The world no longer feels familiar, and there are times when you might feel detached from your own body. Emotions like sadness, guilt, shame, helplessness, anger, and confusion begin to take control. Intrusive thoughts and memories invade your mind.
Maintaining composure becomes difficult as sleep becomes elusive and unpleasant dreams abound.

Dealing with PTSD is a lonely feeling.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a common and natural response to experiencing a traumatic or stressful event. You are not alone in this struggle.
In fact, according to PTSD.gov (2017), approximately 7 out of 10 Americans have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives. This statistic highlights the widespread nature of trauma and the potential for PTSD to affect many individuals.
Unfortunately, the prevalence of PTSD is even higher within the military and first responders’ community. Despite this, many individuals with PTSD do not seek or receive treatment that could help them on their healing journey.
