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.
