Trauma & Post-Traumatic Stress
Traumatic experiences profoundly impact the ways people deal with their emotions, their environments, and their new experiences. This is the root of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Your past experiences and traumas shape the ways you function in your daily life. We are conditioned by our experiences. If the only form of normal we knew was mostly negative, abusive, hurtful, or depressed, then anything positive can’t feel real and “normal” unless there’s some bad in it. With guidance from our providers, we will explore the negative perceptions and beliefs, examine the negative thoughts, and where these thoughts come from. There are things that can help, and we can get you to the other side of the pain and disruption.
