Trauma & PTSD
Find Your CounselorAbout
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is commonly associated with veterans or first responders who have experienced war or other violent acts. After their experiences, they exhibit symptoms of PTSD such as extreme anxiety, combat-related flashbacks, unpredictable aggression, and mood and memory disturbances. However, PTSD is not limited to military and first responders; following a very scary event, it is completely normal to have a stress response. After being in a bad car accident for example, it’s normal to be nervous about getting back in the car the first time. These are totally normal responses. When those responses get in the way of our normal life, and when they last for a long time (longer than a month) that’s when we begin to consider calling it a “trauma response.”
PTSD or Trauma Counseling is the most effective method to relieve symptoms in individuals suffering from PTSD. Our therapists at Lifeologie are trained in multiple approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness and Meditation, Group Therapy, and other alternative approaches. Your therapist may use one or multiple approaches to help you make sense of your traumatic experiences.
