Counselling for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Abuse (Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Domestic Violence etc) and Trauma.
Perhaps you are a survivor of childhood abuse, have experienced abusive or damaging relationships as an adult, or have endured a life-threatening, dangerous, or traumatic situation that has left you struggling with PTSD. These types of experiences can deeply impact your emotional and psychological well-being, often leaving lasting scars.
No matter the form of PTSD, abuse, or trauma, the effects can be profound and far-reaching, influencing many areas of your life, including:
- Low self-esteem or even self-hatred
- Persistent feelings of unworthiness
- Ongoing anxiety and depression
- Insomnia or other sleep disturbances
- Overwhelming feelings of guilt, shame, and self-blame
- Difficulties with trusting others and building healthy relationships
- Disturbing flashbacks or intrusive memories
- Periods of dissociation or feeling disconnected from reality
- Struggles with intimacy and forming close emotional bonds
And the impact doesn’t stop there. Trauma can affect every aspect of your daily life, from your mental and physical health to your relationships, work, and overall sense of self. Understanding and addressing these symptoms is the first step towards healing and reclaiming your life.
