Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Counseling

MUV Counseling

Have you experienced lingering images of life-threatening or perceived life-threatening events? These lingering traumas are stored in your short-term memory, making them easily triggered in everyday life and often including physical reactions. This trauma response often lasts for many years after the event, making you feel a heightened sense of arousal, reactivity, and possibly a disconnection from everyday life.  

 

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing traumatic life events such as war, assault, car accidents, school shootings, natural disasters, and child abuse. Critically, this is not a comprehensive list. There are many experiences that can trigger a trauma response and no two people will cope with life-altering trauma the same way.  

Hey, it’s normal to feel out of sorts, or to feel scared, depressed, or anxious after experiencing a trauma. If the symptoms decrease and become more manageable within a few weeks or months you may not be at risk of PTSD. But, if you are feeling some of the symptoms above, you’re not alone and help is out there for you. Having PTSD makes the recovery process from terrifying life events a challenge. If left untreated, PTSD can make connecting with the present moment, one’s family, or even one’s self difficult. But, if you are feeling some of the symptoms above, you’re not alone and help is out there for you.
