Something terrible happened. Whether it happened recently or years ago, it’s clear that the trauma is still with you. Maybe you tried to convince yourself that you could simply shake it off but sadly, traumatic experiences have a way of sticking around.
Trauma has a profound impact on how your brain works. It influences how you experience the world around you. Triggers can come from anywhere, which can leave you feeling scared, anxious, depressed, and worried things won’t get any better.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, ruminating thoughts, and an inability to regulate your mood, you may be experiencing the effects of trauma resulting in PTSD.
