What is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a natural response to overwhelming, life-altering events. It can disrupt both your emotional well-being and physical health, leaving you feeling trapped in the past. If you’ve experienced trauma, it’s common to feel anxious, disconnected, or as though you’re constantly reliving the event.
Signs You May Need Support
Recognizing when PTSD is affecting your life is the first step toward healing. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, psychotherapy could provide the relief you need:
- Re-experiencing the trauma: Flashbacks, distressing dreams, or intrusive thoughts that bring the past to the present.
- Avoidance & emotional numbness: Steering clear of trauma reminders or feeling disconnected from your emotions and relationships.
- Hyperarousal: Difficulty sleeping, irritability, a constant sense of being “on edge,” or trouble concentrating.
How Psychotherapy Can Help You Heal
At the Self Empowerment Center, we’re dedicated to helping you process and overcome the impact of trauma. Our therapists utilize effective, evidence-based treatments tailored to your specific needs:
- Clinical Hypnosis: A calming technique that helps reframe the emotional impact of your trauma, fostering healing and relaxation.
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A scientifically-supported method that reduces the emotional charge of distressing memories, helping you move forward.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): This approach encourages you to reconnect with the parts of yourself affected by trauma and integrate them to foster long-term healing.
