Are you having recurring, disturbing thoughts or nightmares about
a traumatic event that took place in your past? Do you sometimes
experience the same fearful feelings you felt when the trauma took
place? Do you have flashbacks of the trauma even while awake? Are
you avoiding even the thought of anything that might be associated
with the trauma?
You may have a form of PTSD (or Post
Traumatic Stress Syndrome). This is a type of anxiety disorder
that is sometimes caused by a specific event that somehow stays
impressed on a persons' mind. If left untreated, this problem could
get worse causing persistent fear, agitation and depression. (See What Is PTSD?).
Depending on the type of PTSD you have, treatment could be brief
and effective. Therapy may consist of clinical hypnosis, EMDR, Rapid Resolution Therapy and Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT). If you are suffering from post traumatic stress
syndrome or PTSD, please call for a free telephone consultation.
