Trauma and post traumatic stress disorder are common experiences for many. Anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, flashbacks, isolation, and hopelessness are a few symptoms that can linger following traumatic events. Sometimes the pain from trauma (or complex trauma), can be so overwhelming that many people look for ways to self-medicate to find relief. When we experience trauma, our brains become re-wired to prepare for more dangerous experiences to re-occur, and without treatment, symptoms are unlikely to improve.
Higher Sights contracts with many providers, such as therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and nurse practitioners that specialize in trauma and who provide a safe space for clients to overcome their 'stuck' experience. Researched coping skills and interventions can be used, when learned and performed properly, that lead to positive results for trauma victims. There is hope.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) are some therapy treatments that have proven success. We also have prescribers who are skilled in trauma-informed care and how the brain is rewired from trauma, who can help you find options for additional support in your healing journey.
