Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)Management Counselling

After a traumatic experience, the human system of self-preservation seems to go onto permanent alert, as if the danger might return at any moment

Judith Lewis Herman

There is no timestamp on trauma. There isn’t a formula that you can insert yourself into to get from horror to healed. Be patient. Take up space. Let your journey be the balm

Dawn Serra

You have to understand that PTSD has to be an event that you experience, a very traumatic event. And actually, there is evidence that brain chemistry changes during this event in certain individuals, where it’s imprinted indelibly forever, and there’s an emotion associated with this, which triggers the condition.

Dale Archer

  • You or someone in your social circles went through a traumatic event, and their lives have never been the same again. They seem like they have lost their mind?
  • Could what they are going through qualify as PTSD? Does it have treatment besides counselling? Where is the starting point for the treatment, Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Clergies, or Counsellor?
  • How long will it take to get the affected person functioning effectively again?
  • I am normally a strong person before calamity, but this time around, I am overwhelmed by sadness, tears, and have lost interest in things I used to do. Could it be PTSD?
  • I cannot sleep because of insomnia, and when I manage to sleep, I wake from scary nightmares and terrors, my heart palpitating. Could this be PTSD?
  • If these statements and questions resonate with you or someone you know, it’s important to visit a counsellor for assessment, therapy, and or referral.
