Trauma & Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Have you experienced a traumatic event that continues to affect your daily life? Do fear, anxiety, or painful memories make it difficult to feel safe, connected, or in control? You may be experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
What PTSD Can Look Like
Intrusive memories: flashbacks, nightmares, or distressing thoughts about the event
Avoidance: steering clear of people, places, or situations that are reminders of the trauma
Emotional distress: feelings of fear, anger, guilt, or detachment from loved ones
Physical reactions: being easily startled, tense, or on guard; difficulty sleeping or concentrating
PTSD is often associated with combat veterans, but it can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Women are statistically twice as likely to experience PTSD, and it can develop after experiences such as accidents, natural disasters, assaults, or the sudden loss of a loved one.
