Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Healing Trauma, Restoring Hope

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can emerge from the shadows of traumatic experiences, profoundly affecting an individual's life. Tulua Health is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective treatment for those living with PTSD, helping them reclaim a sense of safety, well-being, and hope.

Understanding PTSD

PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event. PTSD can lead to significant distress, impacting daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Recognizing the Symptoms of PTSD

PTSD manifests in various ways, and symptoms can be grouped into four categories:

• Intrusive Thoughts: Recurrent, unwanted memories of the traumatic event, flashbacks, or distressing dreams.
• Avoidance: Steering clear of reminders of the trauma, including places, activities, people, and even thoughts or feelings related to the event.
• Alterations in Cognition and Mood: Negative thoughts about oneself or the world, distorted feelings of guilt or blame, and diminished interest in activities once enjoyed.
• Changes in Physical and Emotional Reactions: Being easily startled, always on guard, self-destructive behavior, trouble sleeping, or overwhelming feelings of anger, shame, or fear.

Our Approach to Treating PTSD

At Tulua Health, we understand the complexity of PTSD and the courage it takes to seek help. Our approach is holistic and individualized, incorporating a range of therapeutic modalities to address the unique needs of each person:

• Mindfulness and Stress Reduction: Techniques to help manage and reduce the physiological responses associated with PTSD.
