Could I Benefit from Trauma Therapy?
Trauma stems from deeply disturbing or trying experiences. These experiences differ for everyone. For example, they can come from a car accident, abusive relationship, childhood memory, school event, military service, or things you’ve been exposed to on the job.
The following are just some of the symptoms you may experience that indicate trauma therapy could be right for you:
- Intrusive thoughts
- Impatience or a short temper
- Troubling memories or dreams
- Being easily frightened or startled
- Avoiding situations that remind you of the trauma
- Mood swings
- Trouble sleeping
- Debilitating fear or anger when faced with a similar situation that caused the trauma
If you see yourself or a loved one here, trauma therapy with a compassionate and qualified therapist can help.
