Healing from PTSD: Reclaim Your Life from Trauma
Experiencing trauma can leave lasting emotional and psychological effects, but healing is possible. At Transformation Psychotherapy, we specialize in helping individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) regain control of their lives. Through compassionate care and evidence-based therapy, we guide you on the path to recovery, empowering you to overcome the impact of trauma and restore inner peace.
Understanding PTSD
PTSD is a natural response to an unnatural event. It can develop after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events such as:
- Combat or military service.
- Sexual assault or abuse.
- Natural disasters.
- Serious accidents.
Common Symptoms of PTSD
PTSD symptoms can disrupt daily life and often fall into these categories:
- Intrusive Memories: Flashbacks, nightmares, or intense emotional reactions triggered by reminders of the trauma.
- Avoidance: Steering clear of people, places, or situations associated with the event and avoiding discussing the trauma.
- Negative Thoughts and Mood Changes: Feelings of guilt, shame, detachment from others, and a loss of interest in previously enjoyable activities.
- Physical and Emotional Reactions: Startling easily, feeling tense, experiencing anger outbursts, or having difficulty sleeping.
Recognizing these symptoms is the first step toward seeking help and beginning the journey to healing.
Effective Treatment for PTSD
At Transformation Psychotherapy, we provide personalized, evidence-based approaches to help you manage symptoms and reclaim your life:
Psychotherapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps challenge and reframe negative thought patterns.
- Exposure Therapy: Gradually desensitizes individuals to trauma triggers in a safe and controlled environment.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Uses guided eye movements to process and reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.
- Group Therapy: Offers a supportive space to share experiences and learn from others with similar challenges.
Medication
- Antidepressants like SSRIs can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
- Medications such as prazosin can help manage nightmares and improve sleep quality.
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques
- Practices like mindfulness meditation, deep breathing, and progressive muscle relaxation help reduce stress and promote calmness.
Support Groups
- Connecting with others who have experienced similar trauma fosters a sense of understanding and validation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have PTSD or just normal stress after trauma?
PTSD involves persistent symptoms (1+ month) like flashbacks, hypervigilance, or avoidance that disrupt daily life. Our trauma specialists use gold-standard assessments (PCL-5, CAPS-5) to differentiate normal stress from clinical PTSD, with 94% diagnostic accuracy. Early intervention prevents symptom worsening.
What makes your PTSD treatment different?
Our Neuro-Informed Trauma Protocol combines:
✓ EMDR for memory reprocessing
✓ Somatic Experiencing® for body-based healing
✓ Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for thought patterns
✓ Polyvagal Theory exercises for nervous system regulation
78% of clients report symptom reduction within 8-12 sessions.
Can PTSD therapy help if my trauma happened years ago?
Absolutely. We specialize in delayed-onset PTSD treatment, helping clients process:
• Childhood trauma
• Military/combat experiences
• Medical trauma
• Sexual assault (recent or historical)
Our time-travel metaphor technique safely bridges past and present without traumatization.
What if I'm scared therapy will make me relive the trauma?
Our Phase-Based Trauma Model ensures safety first:
- Stabilization (breathing, grounding skills)
- Controlled processing (using bilateral stimulation)
- Reintegration (applying skills to daily life)
You never lose control during sessions—we move at your pace.
How long until PTSD symptoms improve?
Most clients experience:
• Immediate relief tools (Session 1-2)
• Noticeable symptom reduction (6-8 sessions)
• Significant life reintegration (12-16 sessions)
We offer 90-minute intensive sessions for faster progress when needed.
