Post-traumatic Stress

Responses to traumatic events can vary from person to person. While some people who encountered a traumatic event can experience long-lasting anxiety-based symptoms, others may predominantly experience mood and even interpersonal difficulties. Current clinical research indicates that when left untreated, responses to trauma can pose a significant mental health risk. As with other classes of mental health concerns, psychotherapy offers a variety of evidence-based interventions to address difficulties related to traumatic experiences. Examples of significant and long-lasting traumatic reactions can include the following:

• Experiences of recurrent intrusive, distressing traumatic memories.
• Recurrent trauma-related nightmares.
• Distressing emotional and physiological responses to trauma reminders.
• Changing your daily life substantially to avoid trauma reminders.
• Chronic feelings of high anxiety.
• Trauma-related flashbacks.
• Dissociative symptoms such as difficulties remembering aspects of traumatic events.
