Therapy for traumatic event that haunt you

We help many women process traumatic events. In fact, most of us at some point in our lives will encounter some from of trauma. Trauma can be defined as either “Big T” or “Little T.” Therefore, PTSD can occur in people who have experienced or witnessed either “big” or “little” traumas. “Big” traumas include such experiences as natural disasters, serious accidents, sudden deaths of loved ones, violence and personal assault in adulthood or childhood, or other life-threatening events. “Small” traumas include divorce, job loss, an abrupt move, financial difficulties, and any overwhelming life difficulties. Regardless of what propels us into the fight, flight, or freeze mode, any experience that exceeds our capacity to cope can be stored as trauma.

We work with women and trauma every day

Are you having flashbacks of the experience? Are you hyper-vigilant to certain triggers? Do you suddenly disassociate? If so, you could be experiencing Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), a serious condition affecting 7.7 million Americans age 18 and older. Women are particularly vulnerable and are twice as likely as men to develop Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.

Trauma is a part of life, and while it varies in severity, most survivors of trauma are able to recover and return to normal functioning within time. However, we also know that others will continue to experience stress reactions that do not go away on their own and may even worsen. These people may have developed Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.
