PTSD and Trauma

Not all trauma is easy to process.

Memories of a traumatic event can haunt you making you feel constantly on edge. Experiencing flashbacks that transport you to moments of horror can be debilitating. Are you on guard, waiting for that event to occur again? If so, you may be living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or the lingering effects of trauma.

PTSD can impact your life – creating emotional issues that can make it impossible to move beyond the memories of that past trauma.

Some of the ways that PTSD and trauma can continue to disrupt your life include hypervigilance and anxiety, intrusive memories and flashbacks, avoidance behaviors and social withdrawal, difficulty sleeping and physical symptoms, as well as strained relationships and daily functioning.

Although first attributed to veterans experiencing war, other forms of trauma can rob an individual of control over their life. Some of these causes may relate to sexual abuse, being in an accident, or experiencing some life-threatening disaster. Event-specific life transitions (e.g., major illness, grief, or changes in financial status) can impact an individual’s ability to gain control of their life.

Trauma-informed therapy offers a way to process trauma.

With trauma-informed therapy, I can help you process and heal from traumatic experiences, reducing their hold on your life.

I will provide you with a safe and supportive environment where you can start to process your trauma.

You will develop coping skills and strategies for managing symptoms, and I will use evidence-based approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to reprocess traumatic memories.

Over time, you will begin to rebuild a sense of control, confidence, and self-worth and foster resilience and post-traumatic growth.

It’s time to put the trauma behind you.

Remember, healing from trauma takes courage, and you don’t have to face it alone.
