Trauma Treatment

Trauma refers to the emotional response to particularly upsetting or disturbing events. This may include experiences such as accidents, natural disasters, abuse, the loss of a loved one, or any overwhelming situation. Trauma can have lasting effects on an individual's mental well-being and day-to-day functioning, often leading to feelings of fear, helplessness, and disconnection.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that may arise after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. The symptoms can include intrusive memories of the event, avoidance of reminders of the trauma, negative changes in mood or cognition, and heightened anxiety or irritability. PTSD can significantly impact one's daily life and relationships, but it is important to note that effective treatment options are available to support individuals in managing their symptoms and progressing toward healing.
