Trauma Therapy
We’re here to help.
What is trauma?
Many people think that trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) only occur among people who have gone to war or been the victims of violent assault. Rather, trauma is any event that disrupts our sense of wellbeing and stability. Trauma can be a bad breakup, witnessing a car crash, or suddenly losing a loved one. Trauma can even occur second-hand when someone close to you is traumatized.
Some typical symptoms of trauma can include:
Frequent “flashbacks” of the difficult thing that happened to you
Fear of situations or places that remind you of your trauma
Constant nervousness or edginess
Increase in use of alcohol, drugs, or other substances
Increase in risky behavior
Disconnect in relationships
Anger and sudden outbursts
and more…
