What you'll learn

Many of us have traumatic experiences but we don’t develop posttraumatic stress disorder. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is triggered by a terrifying event that is either experienced or witnessed by the person seeking solutions to the symptoms that can develop after a critical incident or traumatic experience. Most of us recover from the trauma of critical incidents on our own with a little time and the support of our family and friends. The symptoms don’t always progress into PTSD.

However, sometimes symptoms do persist, they get worse or they can resurface years later, if left unprocessed and unresolved in our minds symptoms can last for months or even years after the triggering events. This can sometimes cause prolonged interference with daily life requiring professional help to alleviate the symptoms and return to normal functioning and a state of health and wellness. The challenge here is in finding effective treatment solutions and implementing them in a way that reduces symptoms and improves overall functioning. We will explore the standard treatment options and alternatives to increasing your health and wellness while reducing the symptoms related to post stress as we explore the various paths to recovery together.
