Understanding PTSD & Trauma

PTSD can follow any experience that overwhelmed your ability to cope — an accident, an assault, combat, a natural disaster, or a prolonged difficult situation. It’s your nervous system staying on high alert long after the danger has passed.

Symptoms don’t always appear right away — for some people they show up within days, for others, months or years later. However long it’s been, PTSD often responds well to treatment, and you don’t have to walk through the details of what happened before you’re ready to.

Signs & Symptoms

What PTSD & Trauma can look like

Everyone experiences trauma differently. You may benefit from talking to a provider if you have any, or a combination of, the symptoms below.

Re-Living the Event

  • Unwanted memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
  • Intense distress at reminders of the event
  • Physical reactions — racing heart, sweating — to triggers

Avoidance & Mood

  • Avoiding people, places, or conversations tied to the event
  • Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected
  • Persistent negative beliefs about yourself or the world
  • Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy

On Edge

  • Hypervigilance or constantly scanning for danger
  • An exaggerated startle response
  • Irritability or angry outbursts
  • Trouble sleeping or concentrating

Recognize some of this in yourself?

You don’t have to figure it out alone. Our licensed providers are available to help you understand what’s going on and build a plan from here.

Common Causes & Risk Factors

What contributes to PTSD & Trauma

PTSD typically develops after a specific triggering event, but a few factors shape how likely — and how severe — it becomes.

  • The intensity or duration of the traumatic event
  • A prior history of trauma, especially in childhood
  • A personal or family history of mental health conditions
  • Limited support in the aftermath of the event
  • The degree of danger or helplessness felt during the event
How We Treat It

A plan built around you

Many patients do well with a combination of psychiatric medication management (when medically appropriate) and talk therapy, tailored to their symptoms and goals.

Therapy

Talk therapy & counseling options

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Helps process the event and reduce its ongoing grip on your thoughts and behavior.
EMDRUses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories.
Psychiatric Medication Management

Common psychiatric medication options

Medication can often help calm the anxiety, mood, and sleep symptoms that often come with PTSD, helping make therapy more effective.

SSRIs and SNRIsThe most commonly used medications for PTSD-related mood and anxiety symptoms.
Targeted optionsAdditional medications sometimes used for specific symptoms, like nightmares or sleep disruption.
You set the pace on what you’re ready to talk through — treatment doesn’t require reliving every detail before it can help.
