Experiencing Traumatic Events
Are you someone who has experienced any of the following during your lifetime?
- Sexual abuse/molestation
- Abandonment from a parent or caregiver as a child or even an adult
- Infidelity from a partner
- Parentification from a parent or caregiver
- Generational trauma/abuse
- Workplace trauma
- Relationship trauma/intimate partner violence and bullying
- Spiritual/religious trauma
If so, all the following can be considered traumatic events, whether they occurred in childhood or adulthood. Experiencing traumatic events plays a role in the way we see ourselves, the way we see others, and the way we experience the world. Trauma can affect several areas of our life. There is no doubt that trauma shapes our worldview in terms of the way we see the world as far as what “feels” safe, whether there is a real or imagined threat (triggers).
Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of events, or set of circumstances. After experiencing a traumatic event, the human system of self-preservation seems to go into permanent alert as if the danger might return. Traumatized individuals tend to relive the event as though it were continuing to occur in the present. Individuals may sometimes report that they cannot resume the normal course of their lives—sometimes individuals are unaware that they are struggling to resume the normal course of their lives. In this case, some individuals may report the following issues:
- Difficulty with trusting others when there is not a threat
- Difficulty communicating thoughts and emotions
- Difficulty with identifying emotions and thoughts (dissociation)
- Flashbacks
- Panic attacks
- Agitation
- Anger issues
- Emotional regulation issues
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Suicidal ideation
- Difficulty with maintaining healthy relationships with significant others/loved ones
- Issues with memory
- Issues with feeling “safe” whether a real or imagined threat is being presented
- Paranoia
- Mood swings
- OCD tendencies
Evidence-Based Modalities for PTSD Counseling
Unfortunately, what has happened to us cannot be undone. However, the imprints that trauma has left on our mind and body can be dealt with by engaging in trauma therapy. Shalom Counseling and Consulting is a symptom-focused practice that assesses symptoms and determines the appropriate approach to take with each patient. We utilize various PTSD therapy modalities such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization reprocessing therapy (EMDR), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT).
