Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Trauma can result from experiencing or witnessing events that feel overwhelming, frightening, or threatening and can continue to affect your emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop when trauma-related symptoms persist and interfere with daily life, including distressing memories, nightmares, avoidance, changes in mood or thinking, and feeling constantly on alert. Therapy can help you better understand your responses, develop healthy coping strategies, and move toward healing at a pace that feels manageable.
