PTSD and Trauma Related Therapy in Westlake Village, California
“There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than any wound that ever bleeds.”
- L. Hamilton
Your trauma may have been out of your control, but you do have control over your healing.
People often think that PTSD or trauma is only physical or sexual abuse. However, Trauma is so much more than that, and much more common than people think. Many people experience things that are traumatic and then struggle to function or complete everyday tasks because these traumas have been unresolved. Sometimes people aren’t even aware that they are nervous, anxious, stressed, or sad because of any trauma.
Regardless of the trauma you’ve experienced, it generally effects your daily functioning and relationships. Unresolved trauma can contribute to mental health disorders, anxiety, stress, and depression.
No person’s story is alike, just as the path to healing for each individual will look different as well. Trauma can also be a lot of smaller things (a friend moves away, minor fender bender, a kids falls off their bike, …) that pile up like a volcano that eventually erupts.
And that’s where I come in…
