PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is a reaction to a traumatic event. It can include fear, stress, avoidance of triggers, distressing memories, nightmares, flashbacks, dissociation, a startle response, hypervigilance, negative thoughts, self-blame, shame, anger, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, and other distressing issues. Of course, lots of people with PTSD don’t experience all of these issues.
PTSD & EMDR Therapy
There are several ways to heal from PTSD. EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach to healing from PTSD. I often use EMDR therapy, because it works so well for resolving past trauma.
Using CBT, Mindfulness & Meditations to Heal PTSD
I also use CBT, mindfulness skills, and guided meditations when helping people heal from PTSD.
You Can Heal from PTSD
PTSD can be very painful, but you can heal and feel so much better. You deserve to feel better!
