How are people effected by trauma?
They have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and it causes them to have startled responses, flashbacks, hypervigilance, overreactions, or under reactions to things other people react to normally. It also can manifest with anxiety, depression, or compulsive behaviors, like using chemicals, gambling, an eating disorder, a shopping addiction, a video addiction, or codependent behaviors.
Our goal is to help people learn grounding techniques, stress management skills, grieve the losses they have experienced, and learn new coping skills so they can live a healthy and productive life and leave unhealthy behaviors behind.
