If you have recently experienced or witnessed a BURGLARY, RAPE, PHYSICAL ASSAULT, HIJACKING, ACCIDENT or any traumatic event, it is important to seek psychological assistance.
Traumatic experiences shake the foundations of our beliefs about safety, and shatter our assumptions of trust. Each person handles a traumatic experience differently: some may respond immediately, others much later with symptoms such as severe anxiety, depression or numbness.
What are some symptoms of Trauma?
Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, digestive disturbances and hyper-arousal. Sometimes symptoms of severe anxiety, depression, numbness may exist several weeks after a traumatic event. In this case you may be suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and it is important that you seek treatment.
