Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a deeply distressing event—such as abuse, violence, an accident, or trauma. It can impact more than just your memories; it can alter how you see yourself and the world around you.

People with PTSD may experience flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, or intense anxiety. Many also avoid situations that remind them of the trauma. While these responses are the mind’s way of protecting itself, they can make it difficult to feel safe or move forward.

While PTSD can feel overwhelming, you’re not alone in your journey. With the right treatment, it’s possible to find relief from symptoms and begin rebuilding a life that feels safe and meaningful.
