Trauma & Mental Health
When we experience something overwhelming — whether it be a single event or complex, ongoing trauma — our brain's alarm system can get stuck in the 'on' position.
You might find yourself
-
Reliving the past through nightmares or flashbacks
-
Avoiding reminders of the event
-
Feeling emotionally numb
These are not signs that you are broken; they are your mind's way of trying to protect you.
Our goal is to help you move beyond just surviving these symptoms to actually processing the underlying trauma, allowing you to live fully in the present and Become Your Potential.
Healing Post Trauma
PTSD can arise after exposure to events that are deeply distressing or overwhelming, such as:
-
Physical
-
Emotional abuse
-
Sexual abuse
-
Childhood neglect
-
Domestic violence
-
Accidents
-
Other situations where a sense of safety or control is lost
While not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD, for some, the effects of trauma can persist long after the danger has passed, interfering with daily life and overall well-being.
Understanding PTSD Symptoms
PTSD is a natural response to events that exceed a person’s ability to cope. Its symptoms may include:
These responses are the brain and body’s way of trying to protect a person from further harm, but over time, they can become maladaptive, interfering with relationships, work, physical health and one’s ability to feel safe in the world.
The Impact of Abuse, Neglect, and Complex Trauma
Impact of Childhood Trauma
Trauma experienced in childhood — such as ongoing neglect, emotional abuse, or repeated exposure to unstable environments — can be especially impactful.
Effects of Complex Trauma
This kind of complex trauma can shape how a person views themselves and others, often leading to challenges with trust, emotional regulation and self-worth.
Path to Healing
Healing from such experiences requires not only addressing past events but also rebuilding a sense of safety, identity and connection.
Effective, Compassionate Treatment
