Are you accident survivor?
Right now, you may be experiencing:
- Intrusive memories, nightmares, or flashbacks of the accident (car crash, workplace accident, fall, fire, etc.)
- Intense fear or anxiety related to situations similar to the accident (e.g., fear of driving, fear of heights, fear of specific locations)
- Feeling constantly on edge, hypervigilant, or easily startled
- Avoidance of reminders of the accident, including people, places, or activities
- Feelings of guilt, shame, or self-blame related to the accident, even if it wasn’t your fault
- Emotional numbness, detachment, or difficulty feeling positive emotions
- Symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression following the accident
- Physical pain or limitations resulting from injuries sustained in the accident, which may also serve as constant reminders
You’re realizing that surviving the accident is still getting in the way of your life:
- Fear and anxiety prevent you from engaging in activities you once enjoyed or need to do (like driving)
- The trauma symptoms interfere with your sleep, concentration, work, or relationships
- You feel fundamentally changed by the accident, struggling with a loss of safety or innocence
- You feel isolated, as others may not understand the ongoing psychological impact of the accident
- Coping with physical injuries alongside the emotional trauma feels overwhelming
- You struggle with anger about the accident or grief over losses incurred (physical abilities, loved ones, sense of security)
You’re wondering…
- Why am I still so affected by the accident? Will I ever get over it?
- How can I stop these intrusive memories and flashbacks?
- Will I ever feel safe doing things like driving again?
- Is it normal to feel guilty even if the accident wasn’t my fault?
- Can therapy help me process this specific traumatic event?
- How do I cope with both the physical and emotional pain?
You’re longing for…
- Freedom from the fear and anxiety stemming from the accident.
- Relief from intrusive memories, nightmares, and flashbacks.
- The ability to re-engage in life without being constantly reminded or limited by the accident.
- A restored sense of safety and trust in the world and in yourself.
- Healing from the emotional pain, guilt, or grief associated with the accident.
- Integration of the experience so it no longer defines your present life.
