PTSD
PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, such as an accident, assault, or disaster. It can lead to persistent symptoms that affect daily life, including flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety.
What does PTSD feel like?
PTSD can cause vivid flashbacks, nightmares, and intrusive memories of the trauma. You may feel constantly on edge, avoid reminders of the event, or experience emotional numbness. Many people struggle with sleep, concentration, and relationships, and may feel isolated or misunderstood.
How to overcome PTSD with therapy
Trauma-focused therapies, such as cognitive processing therapy, prolonged exposure, or EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing), are highly effective for PTSD. Therapy helps you process traumatic memories, reduce symptoms, and regain a sense of safety. Medication may be used to manage mood or anxiety symptoms.
Through PTSD counselling, you can:
Process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories
Learn coping strategies for anxiety and triggers
Rebuild trust and improve relationships
Regain control over your life and wellbeing
Step-by-step guide to managing PTSD
Recognise symptoms: Notice how trauma is affecting your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour.
Seek professional help: Consult a therapist experienced in trauma treatment.
Engage in therapy: Participate in trauma-focused therapy or EMDR.
Practise self-care: Use grounding and relaxation techniques to manage symptoms.
Consider medication: Discuss options with your doctor if needed.
