EMDR for C-PTSD

Are you struggling with the effects of C-PTSD?

Right now, you may be experiencing:

 

  • Feeling constantly on edge, hypervigilant, or easily startled, even when there’s no apparent danger
  • Intense emotional flashbacks that pull you back into the feelings of past trauma
  • Deep-seated feelings of worthlessness, shame, or guilt that seem unshakable
  • Significant difficulties trusting others, leading to isolation or volatile relationships
  • A distorted sense of self, feeling fundamentally damaged or different from others
  • Chronic physical symptoms like fatigue, pain, or digestive issues with no clear medical cause
  • Periods of dissociation, feeling detached from your body, emotions, or reality

You're realizing that your C-PTSD are getting in the way of your life:

  • Your relationships are consistently challenging, marked by patterns of avoidance, conflict, or clinging
  • You struggle to maintain stability in work or daily routines due to emotional overwhelm or triggers
  • Your sense of self is fragmented, making it hard to know what you truly want or who you are
  • You avoid situations, people, or feelings that might trigger traumatic memories or intense emotions
  • The persistent feeling of being unsafe makes it difficult to relax, enjoy life, or plan for the future
  • You might turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms (substances, self-harm, disordered eating) to manage the internal pain

You’re wondering…

  • Will I ever feel safe in the world or in my own skin?
  • Is it possible to heal from trauma that happened over such a long period?
  • Why do I struggle so much with relationships and trusting people?
  • Can I ever feel like a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms?
  • How is C-PTSD different from regular PTSD, and does the treatment differ?
  • Could EMDR really help with something this deep and complex?

You’re longing for…

  • A sense of inner peace and safety, regardless of your external circumstances.
  • Stable, trusting relationships where you can be authentic and feel secure.
  • A cohesive sense of self, feeling worthy and capable.
  • The ability to regulate your emotions without being overwhelmed or shutting down.
  • Freedom from the constant intrusion of past trauma into your present life.
  • Hope for a future where you are defined by your resilience, not your trauma.

How we can help you.

At Evergreen Counseling, we specialize in treating complex trauma with a deep understanding of its pervasive impact. We recognize that C-PTSD often stems from prolonged relational trauma (like childhood abuse or neglect) and requires a nuanced, phase-based approach. Our highly trained EMDR therapists integrate this powerful modality within a safe, supportive, trauma-informed framework.
