PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder completely changes the lives of everyone who it afflicts. One minute you’re living a perfectly normal, happy life and the next something absolutely awful, that you could never have imagined being forced to go through, becomes your new reality. Suddenly the sights, sounds and smells that accompanied your life in the years prior to this tragedy become triggers that cause horrible memories of this tragedy to come back terrifyingly and unrelentingly.
Post traumatic stress disorder is often misconstrued as only affecting war veterans. The reality is that anyone who has suffered severe trauma in any aspect of their life can also suffer from PTSD. Moreover, it can affect different people in different ways. Tragically, people can sometimes become embarrassed by their symptoms, and not reach out for the help they need as a result. Symptoms can manifest themselves in so many different ways and no two instances are the same. The PTSD symptoms and triggers for one person will be completely different for someone else and this is where I can help to break down your individual situation.
If you’re suffering from PTSD or maybe you’re not sure if you are or not, booking an appointment to talk to someone like me can really help you to reduce the impact of your symptoms on your day-to-day life. You don’t have to suffer in silence. A number of treatments can help you feel like yourself again, making life with PTSD a lot more manageable.
