What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) ?
PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as violence, an accident, or a natural disaster. It often brings recurring memories or nightmares, heightened anxiety, and emotional numbness that can linger long after the event.
PTSD affects both the mind and body, leading to symptoms like flashbacks, sleep disturbances, and emotional triggers. It’s not a sign of weakness—it’s your body’s way of trying to process an overwhelming experience. Understanding how trauma impacts your brain and body is an important step toward healing and regaining control.

Frequently Asked Questions About Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Therapy
How does therapy help with PTSD?
Therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process traumatic experiences and reduce symptoms. You’ll develop coping strategies to manage triggers, rebuild trust, and regain a sense of stability and control in your daily life.
What type of therapy works best for PTSD?
Several types of therapy are highly effective for treating PTSD. Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change distressing thought patterns associated with trauma. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) guides you through reprocessing traumatic memories to lessen their emotional impact.
