PTSD & Trauma

When we go through something traumatic, usually we feel the effects for a while but eventually feel better. Sometimes, though, events that we wish were in the rearview mirror can end up affecting our lives for months or years. If you’re experiencing difficulty coping with the aftermath of a traumatic event, you may be dealing with PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder). Common PTSD symptoms include:

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories
  • Nightmares
  • Avoidance of situations that bring back unwanted memories
  • Anxiety, fear, guilt, shame or other emotions
Traumatic experiences aren’t limited to veterans or extreme cases. Fairly common life-changing events like divorce, childbirth, car accidents, or loss of a loved one can also result in PTSD. Without proper treatment, PTSD can interfere with your everyday activities, work, and relationships. If you find that a traumatic event from your past is taking over the present, therapy can help you develop better coping methods, make sense of the event, and find peace as you move forward.
