Trauma and PTSD
Be Heard Live Well
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. Trauma, broadly defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience, can have lasting effects on one's emotional and psychological well-being. Common sources of trauma leading to PTSD include but are not limited to, combat exposure, sexual assault, accidents, or natural disasters. Symptoms of PTSD often manifest as intrusive memories, nightmares, heightened arousal, avoidance of reminders, and negative changes in mood and cognition. Trauma affects individuals differently, and while some may recover naturally over time, others may need therapeutic intervention. Effective treatments for PTSD include various forms of psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as medications that target specific symptoms. Recognizing and addressing trauma is crucial for promoting healing and restoring a sense of safety and well-being.

Trauma and PTSD
Hypnosis Silver Spring
Hypnotherapist, Hypnotherapist certified by International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association
Trauma and PTS (I don't like the "D" for "disorder") work can be difficult. We will work through and resolve the memory of the original incident or incidents, in gentle ways that do not require direct, painful re-experiencing. We will work mostly on the unconscious level to resolve the emotions involved, and the associated shame, guilt, regret, and grief.
This work can take longer than the 3-4 sessions that resolve most other types of issues.
