Feeling Overwhelmed by the Past?

Trauma and PTSD can have a profound impact on your life, causing persistent emotional and physical symptoms. If you're struggling to cope with the effects of past trauma, you're not alone.

Understanding the Science:

Trauma can disrupt your brain's ability to process and regulate emotions, leading to a range of symptoms. These can include flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and avoidance behaviors.

What does this feel like for you?

  • Flashbacks:

"I keep reliving the traumatic event, as if it's happening again."

  • Nightmares:

"I have terrifying dreams about the trauma."

  • Hypervigilance:

"I'm constantly on edge, always scanning my surroundings for danger."

  • Avoidance:

"I avoid people, places, or activities that remind me of the trauma."

  • Emotional numbness:

"I feel disconnected from my emotions and others."

  • Difficulty concentrating:

"It's hard to focus on tasks, my mind wanders."

  • Irritability:

"I'm easily angered or frustrated."

  • Sleep disturbances:

"I have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep."
