Trauma & PTSD
If you have experienced trauma, I first want to say: I believe you.
I believe your experience, I believe the ways you’ve been impacted.
I believe you, fully.
I also want you to know, you are a survivor. You have more courage than you know and I’m so proud of you for seeking help and taking this first step.
How do you know if your experience was traumatic or just a difficult moment?
When the symptoms interfere with your daily ability to function, it is time to seek help.
The trauma you experienced may be affecting you in the following ways:
Avoiding anything that reminds you of the event
Increased reactivity
Hypervigilance
Re-experiencing the fear of the trauma
Self-destructive behavior
Social isolation
Flashbacks
Nightmares and sleep disturbances
Paranoia
Agitation
Emotional detachment
Dissociation
Problems with memory
Difficulty thinking
Whether you have experienced one or many traumas, it can get better.
Don’t give up now, you’ve come too far. You’ve suffered long enough. Let me help you heal and find your inner strength. Please reach out today.
