Healing Mind, Body, and Spirit from the Impact of Trauma

 

Trauma can leave lasting emotional, physical, and mental imprints, making it hard to feel safe, relaxed, or connected to the present moment. Whether trauma comes from a single distressing event or long-term experiences, the effects can disrupt daily life, relationships, and well-being. At Advanced Treatment Solutions, we provide compassionate trauma therapy and personalized medication management to help you reclaim your sense of peace and joy.

 

The Prevalence and Impact of Trauma

 

According to the Sidran Institute, 70% of adults in the United States will experience a traumatic event at least once in their lives. For up to 20% of these individuals, trauma develops into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This happens when the mind and body’s response to a traumatic event becomes stuck, leading to distressing symptoms that can affect well-being for years.

 

Trauma can result from a variety of experiences, including:

 

    •    Accidents or injuries

    •    Assault or other violent attacks

    •    Dangerous environments, such as war zones

    •    Neglect or abuse in childhood or adulthood

    •    Witnessing or experiencing violence firsthand

 

Regardless of the source, the effects of trauma are real and can impact both the body and mind long after the event has passed.

 

How Trauma Affects You

 

Experiencing trauma can have a profound impact on both emotional and physical health. It’s not uncommon to experience:

 

    •    Intrusive thoughts: Repeated flashbacks or nightmares of the traumatic event.

    •    Painful emotions: Intense feelings of fear, sadness, shame, or anger.

    •    Uncomfortable physical sensations: Muscle tension, chest tightness, racing heart, or fatigue.

    •    Hypervigilance: Feeling constantly “on edge” or unable to relax, even in safe situations.

    •    Disconnection: Trouble finding joy, feeling numb, or avoiding people and activities you once enjoyed.

 

PTSD can develop when these symptoms persist, often dysregulating the nervous system and causing chronic stress responses. This can affect sleep, appetite, concentration, and relationships, leaving individuals feeling overwhelmed and isolated.

 

Our Approach to Trauma Therapy

 

At Advanced Treatment Solutions, we offer evidence-based treatments tailored to meet your unique needs. Trauma therapy isn’t about reliving the past—it’s about helping you regain control, find meaning, and move forward.

 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

 

CBT helps you identify and reframe negative thoughts and beliefs shaped by trauma. Through structured conversations and practical strategies, CBT supports you in developing healthier ways of thinking and responding to triggers.

 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

 

EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements or tapping) to reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge. This innovative technique allows the brain to heal naturally, promoting relief from trauma-related symptoms.

 

Medication Management for Trauma Recovery

 

For some individuals, medication can provide significant relief from trauma symptoms. Our experienced providers work closely with you to create a customized medication management plan. Medications, such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety prescriptions, may complement therapy by helping to stabilize mood, reduce panic attacks, and improve sleep.

 

Our integrative approach ensures that both therapy and medication are aligned to meet your goals for healing.
