Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can profoundly affect your life, influencing the way you feel, think, and relate to the world around you. Trauma can arise from a single shocking event, prolonged exposure to stressful circumstances, or repeated experiences of abuse, accidents, or loss. The emotional and physical impact can be far-reaching, affecting your sleep, focus, relationships, and sense of safety.
Living with PTSD can feel isolating and overwhelming. You might find yourself avoiding situations, people, or reminders of the trauma, experiencing flashbacks or nightmares, or struggling with heightened anxiety and hypervigilance. Therapy is a powerful tool that provides a safe, supportive space to process these experiences, understand your responses, and develop strategies to regain control and rebuild your life.
