PTSD and Trauma

The threat is over, but you still feel its presence.

Perhaps you experienced a car crash, physical or sexual assault, child abuse, natural disaster, or watched someone die. Then, without warning, you find yourself haunted by the chilling memories playing over and over in your head.

That event causes you to remain in disbelief that it happened, and feelings of anxiety or being on edge permeate your body.

Maybe you avoid anything that reminds you of the event, or you cannot remember essential aspects. But when you close your eyes, the nightmares haunt you.

Once, you were an upbeat person, but now you hold debilitating negative beliefs and expectations about yourself, others, and the world. You now feel numb and don’t remember what it feels like to be happy, satisfied, or loved.

These feelings are normal.

Traumatic events impact your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, and even your hopes and dreams.

You may have trouble sleeping, be unable to focus, have angry outbursts, or exhibit reckless or self-destructive behaviors.

These negative feelings and behaviors can occur to different degrees or varying combinations – and all these behaviors are normal, human responses to overwhelming, stressful events.

Seeking help is the first step.

Your willingness to seek counseling is the first step to making peace with these memories. We will help you establish safety to resume the life you had before the trauma occurred.

Imagine knowing your triggers and staying grounded and unmoved by them. Imagine restful sleep and understanding that the trauma is not occurring in the present moment.

Your new coping skills will help you use your head and not your emotions to live your best life.

We will work together to establish a deep, calm, and balanced relationship with your thoughts and feelings to help you face the day. You will develop the strength and confidence to master your life and conquer your fears.

Stop the hurt and start the journey to healing.

Living with trauma and nagging thoughts of what happened to you is not the answer.

We can work together to help you overcome those past events, allowing you to keep them in the past and not the present.

You will remember who you are and who you want to become while letting go of the past pain and loving yourself wholly and completely through the process.
