PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. It can cause intense distress, intrusive memories, and heightened emotional responses, making it difficult to feel safe and move forward. PTSD can develop after events such as accidents, abuse, or military service.

Key characteristics of PTSD include:

  • Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks of the traumatic event.

  • Avoidance of people, places, or situations that trigger memories.

  • Hypervigilance, irritability, or difficulty relaxing.

  • Feelings of numbness or emotional detachment.


With the right support, PTSD therapy can help individuals process trauma and regain a sense of control over their lives.

WHAT DOES PTSD FEEL LIKE?

PTSD can feel like being stuck in the past, with trauma replaying over and over. Many people describe feeling constantly on edge, avoiding reminders of their trauma, or struggling with overwhelming emotions.

The experience of PTSD may include:

  • Reliving traumatic events through flashbacks or nightmares.

  • Feeling detached from loved ones or everyday life.

  • Experiencing panic, anger, or fear without warning.

  • Struggling with trust, safety, or emotional regulation.


PTSD can be overwhelming, but with the right treatment, individuals can begin to heal and move forward.

HOW TO OVERCOME PTSD WITH THERAPY

Therapy is one of the most effective ways to process trauma and regain a sense of safety. PTSD counselling helps individuals work through painful memories and develop strategies to manage symptoms. At HeadHealth, we connect individuals with trauma-informed therapists.

Through therapy, you can:

  • Process traumatic memories in a safe, structured way.

  • Learn grounding techniques to reduce flashbacks and anxiety.

  • Develop coping strategies to manage emotional responses.
