Trauma
Trauma
Are you struggling to maintain a “normal” life?
Do you often feel on edge or on guard? Maybe you are having trouble sleeping or having nightmares. Perhaps you feel isolated or disconnected from others. Or feeling like you no longer “fit” or belong with others. You feel like you cannot control your reactions when things feel sudden or you are overwhelmed with fear. It is quite common when you have experienced a traumatic event to have anxiety and depressive symptoms as well. These reactions and feelings can make it hard to achieve even the simplest tasks in our life. Whatever it is that you are experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:
- Feeling alienated from your friends and family
- Always on guard
- Easily angered
- Emotionally reactive
- Trouble sleeping
- Unexpected moments with a feeling of impending doom
- Feeling like there is nowhere you belong or that no one understands
- Difficulty maintaining relationships
- Easily startled
- Avoidance of certain places or things
- A constant feeling that you are stuck in the past
