Trauma and PTSD
Patricia Tuohy
Counselor/Therapist, M.S. LCMHC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist
Trauma can impact our lives and our ability to function if we don't take the time to acknowledge it and work towards healing the past. If we ignore these events in our lives they will begin to come out in ways that we don't want them to, mainly emotional and behavioral ways that are not serving us and making it very difficult to function and have healthy relationships in our lives.

Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Many women carry trauma that deeply impacts their lives in ways that are both visible and hidden. Whether from experiences in childhood, challenging relationships, or societal pressures, this trauma can become ingrained, affecting self-esteem, emotional responses, and even physical health. Trauma may manifest as anxiety, difficulty trusting others, heightened emotional reactivity, or a chronic sense of unease. These symptoms can persist long after the initial event, creating patterns that shape daily experiences, interactions, and even how one sees themselves and their potential.
Narcissistic abuse, in particular, is a form of trauma that can be insidiously damaging. When subjected to a narcissist’s manipulation, gaslighting, and control, victims often experience a gradual erosion of self-worth, leading to feelings of confusion, self-doubt, and even PTSD. Narcissistic abuse can distort perceptions, making victims question their reality and feel trapped in a cycle of emotional harm. The repetitive, controlling behaviors often associated with narcissistic partners, like deflecting blame and devaluing the victim’s emotions, lead to an overwhelming emotional toll that may look like traditional PTSD symptoms, such as hypervigilance, flashbacks, and a pervasive sense of shame or guilt.
In therapy, we’ll work together to address and unravel these traumas with compassion and understanding. My approach helps you identify and release the weight of these past experiences, rebuild a sense of self, and regain a sense of safety and trust. Recovery from trauma is a journey, but by untangling these experiences and their effects on you, it’s possible to rediscover resilience, strengthen personal boundaries, and regain control over your life. Whether it's reclaiming your voice after narcissistic abuse or understanding how past experiences shape your present, I’m here to support you through this journey.
