Have you experienced a traumatic event and find yourself living with lingering fear, anxiety, or a sense of lost control?
Trauma—from a car accident or assault to natural disaster, combat, or any deeply distressing life event—can change how you think, feel, and behave long after it’s over.
What Trauma Can Look Like:
- Intrusive Memories: Flashbacks, nightmares, or sudden images of the event
- Emotional Flooding: Overwhelming fear, anger, sadness, or shame
- Avoidance: Steering clear of people, places, or conversations that remind you of what happened
- Hypervigilance: Startling easily, feeling “on edge,” or having trouble sleeping
- Disconnection: Feeling detached from friends, family, or your own body
Trauma responses are personal—and they don’t discriminate. Whether you meet formal criteria for PTSD or simply feel “stuck” by what happened, you deserve compassionate support and proven tools to reclaim your life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
