About Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

What is PTSD?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) stems from experiencing or witnessing overwhelming, distressing events that exceed one’s ability to cope. These traumatic experiences can include accidents, natural disasters, violence, abuse, or significant loss. While many individuals may experience temporary difficulties following trauma, PTSD develops when symptoms persist and interfere with daily life.

Common PTSD symptoms include:

Flashbacks
Nightmares
Severe anxiety
Intrusive thoughts about the traumatic event

Our team offers compassionate, evidence-based treatment to help you manage PTSD symptoms and reclaim your quality of life. We’re here to support your journey towards healing and resilience.

UNDERSTANDING THE TYPES

TYPES OF TRAUMA

Acute Trauma: Stemming from a single distressing event or a brief series of events, such as accidents, natural disasters, or instances of abuse. These experiences have a clear beginning and end but can leave lasting impacts.

Chronic Trauma: Also known as complex trauma, this type develops over an extended period. It often results from ongoing situations like abusive relationships, neglect, or persistent emotional manipulation.

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD): Arising from prolonged exposure to traumatic events, particularly within interpersonal relationships. C-PTSD can lead to emotional dysregulation and difficulties in forming and maintaining relationships.

Secondary or Vicarious Trauma: Affecting individuals in professions exposed to others‘ traumatic experiences, such as first responders or healthcare workers. We offer specialized care for those dealing with the emotional toll of witnessing or responding to others’ trauma.

Community Trauma: Events impacting entire communities, including mass disasters, acts of terrorism, or large-scale accidents. We provide support for individuals and groups affected by these widespread traumatic experiences.

Medical Trauma: Resulting from serious illnesses, surgeries, or medical emergencies. Our team understands the unique challenges posed by health-related traumas.
