After One Event or Years of Stress

PTSD can follow a single event or years of chronic stress. Complex trauma can come from childhood experiences, abuse or neglect, relationship trauma, racial trauma, medical experiences or loss.

Treatment is paced carefully. Stabilization and coping skills come before processing, and you do not have to share everything at once.

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories
  • Nightmares
  • Feeling constantly on alert
  • Avoidance
  • Numbness or shutdown
  • Irritability
  • Difficulty trusting others
  • Shame or self-blame
