After a trauma the mind has a lot to process. For some survivors, this post-trauma phase lasts a few weeks or months and doesn’t interfere with their regular functioning in the world.

For others, however, life after a trauma can grind to a halt as a survivor experiences:

  • nightmares
  • insomnia
  • flashbacks
  • rage
  • emotional numbing
  • hypervigiliance
  • hyperarousal
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • intrusive thoughts
  • avoidance

If these symptoms describe you or someone you know don’t despair - you’re not alone. With PTSD causes ranging from natural disasters to terrorism to war to medical dramas to domestic, sexual and child abuse, the PTSD crowd is large, diverse, global and always growing. The good news is PTSD is a treatable and often curable condition.

Our traumas are individual, but the PTSD experience is universal.
