Your life doesn’t have to be limited by past hurts and traumas.

Traumas are more common than many people realize. These difficult experiences can occur anytime, including childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. 

Traumas can include:

  • Loss or grief of a loved one
  • Divorce
  • Bullying
  • Changes in your health
  • Motor vehicle accident
  • Surviving a violent event
  • Experiencing a natural disaster
  • Witnessing trauma
  • Experiencing it secondhand as part of your job, such as a first responder
  • Neglect or abandonment

During a trauma, you may feel a loss of control, intense emotions, or fear for your safety or life. These experiences can trigger parts of our brain that make it hard to process and recover from the event. 

You may notice changes in your emotions, thoughts, or behavior immediately following an event. Or symptoms may not appear until later.

You may benefit from Trauma Therapy if you’re struggling with:

  • Intrusive thoughts
  • Nightmares or flashbacks
  • Avoiding reminders of the traumatic event, such as certain people, places, activities, or situations
  • Distorted or negative thoughts, self-doubts, or beliefs
  • Intense emotions, including depression, anxiety, or anger
  • Become irritated more easily or have angry outbursts
  • Risky or self-destructive behaviors
  • Feeling on edge
  • Poor concentration
  • Changes in sleep habits or appetite
  • Relationship or family issues
  • Feelings of insecurity or loneliness
