PTSD Therapy
Each of us encounters trauma in unique ways, but for those living with PTSD, the journey can feel unending. If your past experiences are overshadowing your present, our specialized PTSD counseling in Ohio offers a pathway to healing, helping you reclaim the peace and balance you deserve.
PTSD manifests itself in each person differently. There are physical as well as emotional symptoms frequently found in those with PTSD, and these can be present even when the person is no longer in danger. If you find these symptoms are interfering with your everyday life, whether at home, work, or school, or if you find that your relationships with others are suffering, it’s time to seek help and begin healing.
Common Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Common symptoms to look out for include:
- Shock
- Fear
- Jumpiness
- Trouble sleeping or nightmares
- Flashbacks
- Racing heart
- Sweating
- Feeling numb or detached
With the assistance of a licensed therapist at REACH Behavioral Health, clients in post-trauma counseling can learn strategies to process traumatic life events and alter reactions to triggering moments or memories going forward.
According to the National Center for PTSD, around 8 million adults in the United States have post-traumatic stress disorder in a given year. While there are millions of Americans with PTSD, everyone is different, and post-traumatic stress affects each person in different ways, manifesting different symptoms. This is why it’s so important for those with PTSD to be treated by a licensed mental health practitioner.
Treatment that works for one person may not work for the next. By working with an expert in post-trauma counseling, you will be able to identify treatment methods that work best for your specific needs.
