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

At Light Side Wellness Co., we understand the profound impact PTSD can have on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. 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.
  • Developmental Trauma: Trauma experienced during childhood, which can have profound and lasting impacts. Our experts specialize in addressing developmental trauma, often resulting from abuse, neglect, or dysfunctional family dynamics.

What are the SYMPTOMS?

At Light Side Wellness Co., we recognize that trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can significantly impact an individual’s life. As part of our commitment to comprehensive mental health care, we offer specialized support for those dealing with these challenging experiences.

The Four Categories of Trauma and PTSD Symptoms

Trauma and PTSD symptoms typically fall into four main categories:

  1. Intrusive Memories: Unwanted recollections of the traumatic event
  2. Avoidance: Steering clear of reminders associated with the trauma
  3. Negative Changes in Thinking and Mood: Alterations in beliefs and emotions
  4. Changes in Physical and Emotional Reactions: Shifts in behavior and physiological responses

It’s important to note that symptoms can vary:
