TRAUMA!
Right now, the trauma is controlling you. You find yourself experiencing many symptoms relating to your trauma. Perhaps you find yourself going through some of the following:
- Intrusive thoughts
- Recurring memories about the trauma
- Dissociation
- Nightmares
- Insomnia
- Hyper-vigilance / Easily startled
- Avoiding things that “trigger” you
- Memory difficulties
- Difficulty concentrating
- Low self-esteem
- Guilt and shame
- Difficulties in your relationships
- Irritability
- Sadness
- Anger
- Fear
- Increased susceptibility to depression and/or anxiety
- Addictions
- Suicidal thoughts
- Feeling hopeless
These things make it difficult for you to move forward in your life.
Sometimes it seems like you’re struggling just to stay afloat.
Without help, it’s likely that things will continue to feel as bleak and hopeless as they feel right now.
However, treatment is available.
Imagine feeling safe again, getting back that old feeling of confidence (or maybe having that for the first time). Imagine not being bothered by thoughts or feelings associated with the trauma, not being triggered.
With the right therapy, the trauma you experienced can become a strength instead of a weakness.
