  • Overthinking plans and solutions to all possible worst-case outcomes
  • Perceiving situations and events as threatening, even when they aren’t
  • Difficulty handling uncertainty
  • Indecisiveness and fear of making the wrong decision
  • Inability to relax, feeling restless, and feeling keyed up or on edge

PTSD and Trauma

 

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. PTSD can develop after events such as combat, natural disasters, accidents, or personal assaults.

Trauma refers to the emotional response to a distressing event. While trauma is a normal reaction to abnormal events, it can lead to long-term psychological effects if not addressed. Trauma can result from a single event or ongoing stress, such as abuse or neglect.

CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is a structured, time-limited approach that focuses on the present and is used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD.


CBT works by helping people recognize distorted thinking and develop more realistic and positive thoughts. It also involves learning new behaviors and coping strategies for challenging situations. The therapy is collaborative, with the therapist and patient working together to set goals and track progress.
