Are you struggling with the effects of PTSD?
Right now, you might be experiencing:
- Irritability and Anger: Persistent irritability, anger, agitation, and hostility.
- Startle Response: An exaggerated startle response that floods you with adrenaline.
- Severe Anxiety: Living with severe anxiety that affects your daily functioning.
- Flashbacks and Nightmares: Frequent flashbacks, mental intrusions, and nightmares that disrupt your peace.
- Loss of Interest: A loss of interest and pleasure in the things that used to bring you joy.
You’ve started to recognize how unresolved PTSD is impacting your life:
- Constant Anger: You’re angry seemingly all the time and find yourself taking it out on the people closest to you.
- Mental Intrusions: You seem stuck in an endless loop of mental rumination, intrusions, and spontaneous flashbacks that disconcert you and disrupt your work.
- Startle Reflex: You have an exaggerated startle response to everything—your child dropping a bowl, a car door slamming shut, and other loud noises.
- Concern from Loved Ones: You’re short-tempered and easily startled, and your family and friends are beginning to express concern.
- Health Decline: Both your mental and physical health are suffering due to the unresolved trauma.
You’re wondering…
- Do I actually have PTSD? Maybe I’m just going through a hard time?
- Isn’t PTSD something only veterans experience? Does my experience even count?
- Shouldn’t I be able to handle this on my own?
- How do I know if this is severe enough to require trauma therapy?
- Will I have to talk about all the details and re-live them again? Why should I do that?
You’re longing for…
- Return to Yourself: To feel like your old self again, the way you did before the trauma happened.
- Patience and Kindness: To be kinder, more patient, and less reactive with the relationships that matter most to you.
- Healthy Coping: The ability to get through the day without relying on substances or behaviors that you know aren’t good for you.
- Ease in Your Body: To feel at ease in your body, not in a constant state of fight/flight/freeze.
- Restful Sleep: To sleep through the night and feel more at ease in your mind.
What you’re longing for is possible.
At Evergreen Counseling, we have a team of seasoned, evidence-based, trauma-trained therapists skilled in treating PTSD.
Imagine the Transformation Through Trauma Therapy
By pursuing trauma therapy for PTSD, you can imagine:
You feel angry, irritable, and prone to rage, especially with the people you love the most.
You feel calmer, more grounded, and more patient, able to show up for your most important relationships.
You experience intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to your trauma that come out of nowhere.
You experience fewer (if any) memory intrusions, and when you do, the distress they cause is significantly reduced.
You rely on self-sabotaging and destructive coping behaviors and substances to numb your feelings.
You’ve replaced self-sabotaging behaviors with healthier, more functional choices.
You can’t imagine a hopeful future, waking up with dread, feeling like each day is a battlefield.
You feel more like your old self, with a renewed sense of hope and the capacity to move through life with greater ease.
