Trauma and PTSD
Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
When people hear "trauma" or "PTSD," they often think of major events like natural disasters or wars. However, symptoms of PTSD can arise from many other adverse experiences. Sometimes, it’s not just a single event but a series of challenges that sets PTSD in motion. Common symptoms include mood swings, feeling emotionally numb or disconnected, struggling in relationships, or having intense emotional reactions that don’t seem to match the situation.
It’s important to recognize that trauma affects everyone differently. For example, two people might experience the same event—like a car accident—but respond in completely different ways. One might bounce back quickly, while the other might need more time to heal. This range of responses is normal and valid.
Many people have encountered some form of trauma, though it can help to think of these experiences as “speed bumps” rather than defining them solely as trauma. Like speed bumps on the road, these moments encourage us to slow down, reassess, and move forward with care. Even when they catch us off guard or cause pain, they don’t have to stop us entirely.
The good news is that advances in therapeutic techniques have made recovery from trauma more accessible, faster, and more comfortable than ever before. By addressing the lingering effects and understanding individual responses, healing becomes not only possible but empowering.

Trauma and PTSD
Growth Counseling - Peter Tumolo
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
As Bessel Van Der Kolk says "The Body Keeps the Score". This statement refers to the now scientifically proven notion that trauma is not just the "bad things" that happen to us, but what happens in our bodies as well. Trauma is the lump in our throats, the heaviness in our chests, the anxiety in our stomachs, and tension in our muscles. In order to help heal from trauma and PTSD, we need to connect to our bodies and bring the body into the therapeutic experience. I am certified in EMDR which is proven to help process and heal past trauma of all kinds, including "shock trauma" (war, natural disasters, car accidents) and "relational/developmental trauma" (emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse).

Trauma and PTSD
Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Treating trauma has been a specialty of mine for almost 15 years. I mostly use Cognitive Processing Therapy to understand the impact trauma has had on you and your life and then we use skills to address the thoughts that are keeping you stuck in old patterns. We will talk about important themes like safety, trust, power/control, esteem, and intimacy as a part of your trauma patterns. Changing how you think about trauma can help you get unstuck and live in more peaceful ways.
