Trauma Recovery

When will the next flashback hit?

Jolting awake at night, you are terrified and covered in sweat.

You’re not safe in the daytime either because flashes of a traumatic event can occur at any time.

Feeling stressed out is normal.

Understanding that nightmares, flashbacks, and anxiety are symptoms of trauma is the first step in your recovery process.

Understanding PTSD Flashbacks, Anxiety, and Nightmares

Trauma can appear in multiple forms and not just PTSD. Constant nightmares, increased anxiety, and flashbacks are common among individuals who have experienced or are experiencing deeply disturbing or distressing situations.

Flashbacks, anxiety, and nightmares are intrusion effects of your trauma that start affecting your everyday functioning ability and overall life.

Getting proper trauma therapy from a licensed and experienced therapist can help you learn ways to deal with these trauma symptoms and regain control of your life.

My Trauma Recovery Therapy Methods

I have extensive experience in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Depth Psychology, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other interventions to help clients recover from trauma.

Nightmares, flashbacks, and anxiety related to trauma can be terrifying experiences.

EMDR is effective in helping you unlearn extreme or negative reactions to trauma through eye movements linked to the processing centers of your brain.

Trauma-Focused CBT uses a series of steps to help you process and deal with trauma symptoms, particularly nightmares and flashbacks. I will guide you in learning the skills you need to manage these symptoms and reduce their negative impact on you.

With my guidance and support, you can start identifying and resolving your triggers. You will gradually gain control to deal with your experiences of trauma and reduce the related threats through healthy coping mechanisms, gradually limiting the nightmares, anxieties, and flashbacks as you recover from the trauma.
