Trauma/PTSD Treatment
Trauma/PTSD
Something in your life happened. It was not good. In fact, it was pretty scary. Maybe you have an abusive partner, experienced a hurricane, been assaulted, or grew up in a dysfunctional family. All of these things can cause trauma symptoms.
Symptoms of trauma (one big negative event, a series of negative events, or prolonged stressful environments) can cause Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which can show up as physical, cognitive, and emotional distress. These symptoms may include:
- body aches and pains
- difficulty sleeping or nightmares
- panic/anxiety
- lethargy
- heightened startle response
- confusion
- difficulty concentrating
- fear
- avoidance
- nightmares and more…
However, bad experiences DON’T HAVE TO DEFINE YOU! The anxiety, racing thoughts, or worry you may feel every day about your past can be processed.
Although they may stay with you as a part of your history, they no longer have to be at the forefront of your mind. You can get control of your mental health. In time, you can start to feel better with support from a trained therapist.
Some therapists in Synergy are trained in specific trauma treatments like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
Everyone experiences Anxiety to some extent.
PTSD is Different.
Everyone feels anxious sometimes, especially when they face stressful situations. But, not everyone experiences trauma or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
For example, a little anxiety about an exam may push you to study harder. Or worrying about a car crash means you’ll never forget your seat belt. However, there is a point where anxiety becomes all-consuming and debilitating.
Too much anxiety about negative or disruptive experiences may cause you to freeze and be unable to get out of bed.

You do not need to live with all-consuming PTSD symptoms every day. There is hope.

Synergy eTherapy's Approach To Trauma Therapy and PTSD Treatment
Successful trauma treatment and PTSD treatment is holistic which includes specific Cognitive Behavioral therapies, Processing therapies like EMDR or ART, possibly medication, and other approaches like meditation, relaxation, and mindfulness practices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy For Trauma
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common way to treat the symptoms of trauma and PTSD. CBT focuses on how your thoughts and feelings cause you to act in certain ways. It can teach you how to cope with bad thoughts and make changes in your behaviors to cope with the symptoms you’re having. You can’t go back and change what happened to you, but you can change your future and how you react to your trauma triggers. CBT will teach you coping strategies to help you respond in a healthy way when you are triggered by the memories of your past.
Processing Therapies like CPT, EMDR, or ART
Processing Therapies like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR or ART are specific trauma treatment that helps alleviate symptoms of PTSD. They are all evidence-based, short-term treatments that can lessen or even eliminate Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms. During online therapy, a counselor educates you about PTSD symptoms and helps you process out “stuck points” associated with the traumatic event.
