Trauma and PTSD:

Healing Starts Here

Trauma is an emotional response to an overwhelming event, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur when the effects of trauma linger long after the event itself. Whether caused by a single traumatic incident or prolonged exposure to distressing situations, trauma can deeply impact an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. At [Your Practice Name], we are here to help you heal and reclaim control over your life.

Understanding Trauma and PTSD

Trauma can manifest in various forms, including:

  • Physical trauma: Accidents, injuries, or life-threatening situations.

  • Emotional trauma: Abuse, neglect, loss, or betrayal.

  • Psychological trauma: Witnessing violence, experiencing disaster, or enduring long-term stress.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It affects the brain’s ability to process and cope with the overwhelming emotions linked to the trauma, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Intrusive memories or flashbacks

  • Nightmares and sleep disturbances

  • Emotional numbness or detachment

  • Hypervigilance and irritability

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
