HAVE YOU SUFFERED FROM TRAUMA ?

​​​

• Do you feel different about yourself since the traumatic event?

• Do you feel anxiety or depression since?

• Do you feel like isolating from your loved ones?

• Are you reliving the traumatic situation frequently?

• Is this traumatic experience affecting your relationships?

• Do you feel you are underperforming at work since?

• Have you been thinking about seeking help through trauma counseling?

You just went through the toughest time in your life. Just went you thought you have overcome it, you are still struggling. You have been asking yourself over and over the question: “When will I feel like myself again?” Or maybe you worry about a love long who seems "off."

Your traumatic experience may have taken place many years ago, but it feels like just yesterday. When those memories come back it can rock your world at full force. Sometimes memories come back when things get hard or life changes for you. Either way, your life feels chaotic and out of your control. 

Some people may not understand what you are going through, may wonder why you have "gotten over it", maybe they wonder what trauma is.

Trauma is a painful experience, one that affects how we think, act and behave for a long time. It can affect our job performance, relationships, academic performance, socialization, and self-care. Most people think of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse as forms of trauma. These forms of abuse are certainly traumatic; however trauma can also be caused by accidents, the death of loved ones, and any other overwhelming experience that results in long term effects.

It feels like an overwhelming rollercoaster affecting areas of your life that once mattered. You no feel loss of self, a loss of confidence and a loss of control.  

​

You could be experiencing flashbacks, constant thoughts about your experience and/or maybe constant nightmares about it. These feelings and thoughts can become PTSD. 

​

PTSD presents with the following symptoms:

• Agitation

• Irritability

• Hyper-vigilance

• Self-Destructive Behaviors 

• Social Isolation

• Flashbacks

• Anxiety

• Mistrust

• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities

• Guilt

• Loneliness

• Insomnia or nightmares

• Emotional detachment

• Unwanted thoughts

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

  TRAUMA COUNSELING CAN HELP.  

According to PTSD United Organization, approximately 70% of adults have experienced some type of traumatic situation throughout their lives. This is a staggering number of 223.4 million Americans. Of these individuals, up to 20% of them develop PTSD, which is approximately 44.7 million adults.

Unresolved trauma and PTSD can become overwhelming to the point where it takes control over different aspects of a person’s life. With the help of highly trained and caring counselors, trauma and PTSD symptoms can become more manageable. 

​

For many they are simply looking to find relief for the chains that have kept them from living their lives. Coming out from trauma is a powerful experience, healing from trauma requires another level of strength, but going through the process can help many gain the energy they need to have a new and more positive perspective of live. Closure is possible through effective counseling techniques.

​

Trauma counseling has helped many take back control their lives, which has created a sense of freedom and harmony. Effective treatments such as solution focused therapy, CBT, and EMDR are used by our trauma therapists.

​

As committed therapists, we understand that working on overcoming trauma can be a daunting and scary idea. Many individuals wonder if they will have to talk about the traumatic event(s) “over and over.” Luckily we use a non-invasive and collaborative approach to help you reconnect with yourself and find closure. 

As such, we work at the individual’s pace. Our approach is to focus on individuals’ strengths and collaborate in finding solutions that fit and provide long-term solutions. We also work under the assumption that therapy does not need to be a lifelong journey. If you would like to learn more about us, please click here.
