How Can Therapy Help?
Trauma comes in many forms. Sometimes it's prolonged and happens over time. Sometimes it's just one really bad thing that happened. Regardless, it can affect everything in your life. Lots of people come in and don't even realize they have PTSD. They just know they feel bad most of the time and can't shake the feeling that there is always something dangerous around the corner. This feeling interferes with the ability to participate in life fully and can make you feel trapped or alone. After trauma, many people carry an unconscious feeling of powerless which somehow seeps into everything.
​
The difficult part, is that this can happen even without remembering all of the details or events.
​
Therapy can help you teach your brain and body to move on, so you can feel normal again.
