What is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental health condition that can develop in response to experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Trauma can take many forms, including physical or sexual assault, natural disasters, combat, or witnessing violence. The symptoms of PTSD can be severe and debilitating, affecting every area of a person's life.

Common symptoms of PTSD include:

• Intrusive thoughts or memories of the traumatic event
• Avoidance of triggers or reminders of the trauma
• Hyperarousal or a state of constant vigilance
• Nightmares or flashbacks
• Negative thoughts or feelings about oneself or the world

PTSD can be a chronic condition, meaning that the symptoms can last for months or even years if left untreated. However, with the right treatment and support, it is possible to manage the symptoms of PTSD and lead a fulfilling life.

What is PTSD therapy?

PTSD therapy is a type of mental health treatment that is designed to help people who are struggling with the symptoms of PTSD. There are many different types of PTSD therapy, but they all share a common goal: to help individuals manage their symptoms and heal from their trauma.

Some of the most effective types of PTSD therapy include:

• Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT): This type of therapy focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that are contributing to the symptoms of PTSD.
• Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR): This therapy involves using rapid eye movements to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of their symptoms.
• Prolonged exposure therapy: This therapy involves gradually exposing individuals to triggers or reminders of the traumatic event in a safe and controlled environment, helping them to overcome their avoidance and reduce their symptoms.

PTSD therapy can be provided in individual or group settings, depending on the needs and preferences of the individual. Our therapy sessions can be conducted in person, over the phone, or via video conferencing.
