I thought I was fine. Until PTSD told me otherwise

Heightened states of anxiety can be scary. Add to that flashbacks, nightmares, or moments of emotional numbing, and you can feel like your world has been turned upside down. If you are experiencing this after trauma, you could be experiencing PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).
 
The good news is that there are plenty of treatment options for PTSD. It has been around forever, so us therapists have been working hard for decades to help alleviate symptoms. Latest research shows that one of the best approaches is EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy). We can chat about what this involves, but, in short, it helps to turn the volume down on your symptoms. As a result, this could open you up to the potential to feel safe in your body again, you will be able to trust others, and you will thrive in your relationships (work and personal).
 
Get in contact if you need to ask any questions about this. Alternatively, you can book online for a free call from me.
