Complex PTSD

1639121464Painful memories can cause continuous torment.

You still suffer from harrowing experiences and memories from your past. Even though they happened long ago, you continually get triggered and reminded about those painful memories.

Attempts to avoid thinking about them work for a while; but no matter how hard you try, those painful sensations, emotions, or images of the events keep popping up.

Those memories sometimes appear in the form of nightmares or as flashbacks – where you feel as if the painful experience from the past is happening right now in the present.

We have worked with many clients whose PTSD symptoms are rooted in childhood abuse. They have spent most of their life trying to run away from the pain of that abuse and have suffered from anxiety and depression due to past events.

PTSD causes intense suffering.

Suffering from the effects of PTSD is probably impacting everyday aspects of your life, including looking after yourself; holding down a job; maintaining friendships or relationships; remembering things and; making decisions; your sex drive; coping with change; or simply enjoying your leisure time.

Feelings of worthlessness, anger, or distrustfulness are emotions expressed even toward those close to you. Controlling your temper is challenging; lashing out occurs frequently, and in the end, you feel shame, guilt, and remorse.

Now, you have reached a breaking point, feeling hopeless about things getting better. It’s a miracle that you have kept yourself going as long as you have.

Whatever has kept you alive to this point – whether having loving children – or some shred of faith that healing is possible, ending suffering is possible.

1420185467Let’s end your suffering.

You are not the cause of your suffering and are not to blame for all the pain you keep experiencing.

So, whatever has kept you going to this point in your life – you can finally receive the help you need to overcome and heal from the immense suffering you keep experiencing.

We will work collaboratively to identify the root causes of all the symptoms and suffering you experience.

You may already have some ideas about those causes, such as childhood traumas, abuse, and neglect.

Perhaps you have been to therapy and talked about these issues – but found no relief.

Why not try something that’s proven to work?

Jane* suffered domestic violence in her previous marriage. When her husband raised his voice to her, she experienced extreme fear, panic, and unsafe feelings. She also relived those feelings whenever she saw someone that looked like her ex-husband.

We discovered in working together that these fearful feelings were even more profound than the domestic violence from her ex-husband. When she was a child, her mother was abusive toward her and did not protect her from the abuse of her boyfriends either.

After Identifying and releasing the root causes of her PTSD, Jane is no longer feeling any fear or panicky feelings when her husband raises his voice or when she sees someone in town who looks like her ex-husband.
