Psychotherapy that Brings Results

Trauma/PTSD Therapy at Resilience Psychology

Trauma means “wound” in Latin and in this sense, all individuals have experienced big and small traumas across their lifetime. Whether your trauma is from a single event or accumulated over a lifetime, studies show that trauma has the following impacts on the mind and body:

Inability to trust
Low or distorted self-esteem
Sense of being isolated or disconnected from others
Feeling stuck, exhausted, or anxious
Disturbing flashbacks or dreams of the traumatic event
Avoidance of people, places, or objects related to the trauma
Emotional numbing through alcohol, drugs, or overworking
Emotional dysregulation and experiencing overwhelming emotions that are out of proportion to a situation
Having difficulty with keeping or setting boundaries
Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
