Trauma and PTSD

Healing Trauma and PTSD at Positive Impact Behavioral Health

At Positive Impact Behavioral Health, we understand that trauma manifests in various forms, whether through sudden loss, assault, abandonment, accidents, abuse, or bullying. Experiencing trauma, whether as a singular event or a series of occurrences, fundamentally reshapes our perception of the world, often leaving us in a state of anxiety, panic, and hyperawareness. Despite attempts to suppress these feelings, they persist, impacting our relationships and overall sense of well-being. The personal impact of trauma is profound, influencing every aspect of one's life, from the ability to form relationships to one's sense of self and security.

Understanding Trauma: A Compassionate Approach

At Positive Impact Behavioral Health, we recognize that the struggles you face in the aftermath of trauma do not reflect any flaw within you. Trauma profoundly alters our self-perception, our thoughts towards others, and our interactions with the world around us. Self-doubt and minimization of one's feelings serve only to delay healing. Traumatic memories can unexpectedly resurface, triggered by the smallest reminders, and disrupt your peace and sleep.

Embracing Healing: Your Safe Space

Your journey towards improved well-being is of utmost importance to us. We strive to create a secure and accepting environment where you can freely explore and release past traumas at your pace. Sharing your story is a powerful step towards healing, but we acknowledge it's not the only step. Given that trauma often lingers within the body, a holistic approach to healing is essential.

EMDR: A Cornerstone of Our Treatment

At Positive Impact Behavioral Health, we frequently employ EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a key component of our treatment approach. EMDR is an effective technique for addressing and altering the negative thought patterns that trauma instills. This process involves a dual focus on the physical sensations and emotions experienced during traumatic events, facilitating a thorough healing process. Our goal through EMDR is not merely to achieve closure but to transform your life into one filled with hope and potential, helping you confidently move beyond your past traumas.
