PTSD and Trauma
Your world has been flipped upside down.
You tell yourself, “It wasn’t that bad,” or reason “Worse things have happened to other people.” All you want is for things to go back to the way they used to be. You want to feel grounded and calm in your life, and safe with others.
Yet the overwhelming anxiety and reactivity you experience feel so far away from being grounded and calm. You avoid over-stimulating situations, and you find yourself constantly exhausted. It sometimes feels like you are stuck in slow motion, watching the rest of the world fly by; other times, it feels like you can’t stop moving.
Disconnection becomes your way of life.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects every area of your life, disconnecting you from yourself, others, and the world. Most of the time you feel trapped inside your head, isolated, and alone; but when you try to explain it to others, they just don’t seem to understand.
It is possible to experience relief from PTSD.
