Trauma & PTSD
You're In The Right Place If...
-
You feel on edge, easily triggered, or overwhelmed
-
Certain memories or experiences feel hard to shake
-
You avoid situations, places, or conversations
-
You feel disconnected from yourself or others
-
Your body reacts strongly - even when you know you're safe
Trauma responses are not a weakness - they're your nervous system trying to protect you.
Trauma doesn't just live in memory - it lives in the body.
It can show up as:
Feeling unsafe, on guard, or easily startled.
Numbness, dissociation, or feeling disconnected.
Emotional distress, flashbacks, or intrusive memories.
Difficulty trusting others or forming close relationships.
Strong emotional or physical reactions to triggers.
Trauma isn't one-size-fits-all.
It may include:
-
​Single-even trauma (accidents, loss, medical events)
-
Ongoing or repeated experiences (childhood trauma, relationships)
-
Relational trauma
-
Complex trauma
Whatever your experience - you don't have to minimize it to deserve help.
