Healing From Trauma is Possible Under the Guidance of AN Experienced Psychotherapist Through PTSD Counselling

Some areas of our lives are woven with experiences that leave lasting scars on our minds and hearts. These scars can start impacting different aspects of our lives when not treated.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one such thread, impacting individuals who have faced traumatic events. At HA Counselling, we understand the profound toll trauma can take on your well-being, and we’re here to offer a compassionate and healing path forward.

What is PTSD?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a difficult and complex mental health condition that can occur in the aftermath of a traumatic event. Trauma takes many forms, from combat experiences and accidents to emotional or physical abuse, natural disasters, or witnessing distressing incidents.

People battling with PTSD might experience multiple symptoms, including:

  • Intrusive memories
  • Flashbacks
  • Nightmares
  • Hypervigilance
  • Avoidance of reminders
  • Negative changes in mood and cognition

Untreated PTSD can lead to the development of other mental health problems, like depression, anger management, anxiety, or substance abuse. Getting help early can prevent these complications. With professional help, many individuals with PTSD experience significant improvements and even complete recovery. Seeking help is the first step toward healing and resilience.
