Online Mental Health Support for Trauma
When past traumatic experiences keep showing up, being present can be challenging
How Do I Know if Psychiatry and Talk Therapy Is Right For Me?
You don’t have to know exactly what you need to reach out for help. Whether you're dealing with a recent traumatic experience or something from the past, talking with someone can help make things feel a little less heavy.
Psychiatry and talk therapy often work best together, helping you better understand what you’re feeling, where it’s coming from, and how to manage it in ways that feel doable. Some people find relief through therapy alone, like using simple tools to work through their thoughts.
For others, a combination of medication and therapy brings the most relief. Medication can play a helpful role in reducing the intensity of traumatic symptoms, making it easier to get through the day. What matters most is finding what works for you and having support along the way. Here are a few ways we can make this happen:
Making space for your emotions - We’ll help you process your thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms so you can begin to understand everything that you’re feeling.
Restructuring negative thoughts and correcting false beliefs - Therapy is a great way to reshape the negative or irrational thought and behavior patterns that may have formed after your experience.
Reducing nightmares - If you experience nightmares, we’ll work together to find strategies that can help reduce their intensity and frequency so you can wake up feeling refreshed.
What Can Trauma Look Like?
Most of us have gone through a difficult experience. But when the effects of those moments continue to show up long after the event, it could point to something deeper. Stressful situations and uncertain moments can elevate traumatic symptoms, which may show up in physical and psychological ways.
Physical Signs
Accelerated heart rate, usually followed by sweating or trembling
Body aches and pains
Digestive problems including nausea and stomach pain
Psychological Signs
Frequent mood swings, often following flashbacks
Recurring nightmares or trouble falling asleep
Constant sense of fear, anger, anxiety, or depression
