Grow into your Healed Self

Impact of traumatic experiences on you

Relationships

One major symptom of trauma is how it leads to your disconnection from others. You find it hard to be close without blowing up, or running away. You fear what could happen if you fall apart.

Body Stress/Physical Issues

Often, the after-effects of trauma can manifest physically. Resulting in chronic pain, sleep issues, and hypertension. It feels like your body is betraying you even after doctors tell you there isn’t a medical explanation.

Struggles with Mood

At times in trauma therapy, we can make connections from past traumatic experiences to present mood issues, such as anxiety and depression, and general emotional reactivity.

Classic PTSD/CPTSD Symptoms

You may find yourself with intrusive memories, and dreams. You may be avoiding things that remind you of your trauma. As well as exaggerated startle responses, hypervigilance, or self-destructive behaviors.
