Counseling for Abuse, Trauma & PTSD
Have you recently witnessed a traumatic event?
Are you a veterans or survivor of a natural disaster?
Feeling hyper-alert for unlikely dangers?
Post Traumatic Stress is the name given to the what you could be dealing with if you have been involved in an abusive relationship, were abused as a child, have lived with daily threats or anticipation of violence, or have gone through devastation to your home or community due to some random weather event.
PTSD can cause an incessant replaying of memories of the traumatic events -- in dreams and in waking life flashbacks. As a result you feel the need to be on constant alert, to prevent further damage to yourself or your property, or your loved ones.
That hyper-vigilence can provoke high irritability, low patience and trust, and extreme self-defense actions that are out of proportion to the immediate reality. It can be like reacting to an event that happened months ago and thinking that it's happening again, when it isn't.
As a result, if you are suffering from PTSD, you may be having trouble sleeping, maintaining healthy habits and relationships, and getting the support you need to overcome the high stress you feel.
Counseling is the solution you are seeking.
Counseling is so helpful to people suffering from abuse, trauma, and PTSD. In addition to developing new coping skills to keep calm during high-stress times, you also learn how to challenge your fears and perceptions so that you are dealing with reality as it is in the moment.
