Trauma Can Sometimes Be Difficult to Recognize

The World Health Organization estimates that about 70% of people worldwide will experience a potentially traumatic event during their lifetime. Unfortunately, many people try to suppress their trauma. While hiding, denying, and/or ignoring your trauma in the short term may seem to alleviate feelings of pain, shame, or guilt, failure to address and heal from your trauma can have lasting negative physical, mental, and emotional consequences on your life.

 

If you are struggling to understand whether you are suffering from unresolved trauma or PTSD, below are some common signs and symptoms of trauma you should look out for.

 

  • Flashbacks or nightmares that feel like you are reliving your trauma.  
  • Avoiding certain places, situations, or people because of your trauma.
  • Experiencing constant physical and/or mental stress and strain.
  • Racing heartbeat, sweating, or difficulty sleeping.
  • Feeling unable to focus or concentrate.
  • Constantly feeling on edge or tense.
  • And more

While no two patients suffering from trauma are ever the same, if you are struggling with one or more symptoms above, it’s important to reach out for help and learn more about our Newport Beach trauma therapy services. 

Personalized Trauma Therapy to Heal Your Mind, Body, and Spirit

We offer a range of Newport Beach trauma therapy services to help patients living near Newport Beach get the help that they need to identify, address, and heal from their trauma. With a range of evidence-based trauma therapy options available, we ensure patients receive the right care for their unique recovery needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a popular type of psychotherapy that helps focus on identifying negative thoughts and behavior and changing them to be positive for your overall well-being. CBT can help trauma sufferers by identifying traumatic experiences and then learning how to reframe, address, and heal from their trauma so they can lead a more balanced life free from any lingering unresolved trauma from their past. 

EMDR helps patients reprocess traumatic experiences by guiding patients through specific eye movements with the aim of healing their brains. During EMDR, your therapist will ask you to recall a traumatic event(s), while you’re guided through specific eye movements to help reprocess this traumatic event(s) and promote healing. 

Exposure therapy is a popular behavioral treatment approach to treating trauma which involves exposing patients to a place or experience that triggers their trauma symptoms. Exposure therapy essentially helps patients confront situations or places that they are fearful of in a slow and controlled environment. While exposure therapy is not for everyone, it can be especially helpful for some patients, like patients who’ve experienced a traumatic car or plane accident.

Grief counseling is a form of therapy that aims to help patients struggling to cope with loss, such as the death of a loved one. It can be confusing and scary when you lose someone close to you, and can even be traumatic for some people, especially if you lose a loved one suddenly or unexpectedly. In grief counseling, patients learn how to feel these feelings of anger, sadness, and confusion in a safe space so they can heal and accept their loss and move forward in their lives. 

Depending on your exact trauma therapy needs, you may benefit from one or multiple Newport Beach trauma therapy services listed above. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive selection of science-backed treatment options so you can receive tailored support to heal your mind, body, and spirit. We also offer a wide range of other treatment options, like DBT, couples therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and more so you can receive tailored care. 

Your Trauma Doesn’t Define You

A clinician helps a patient in a trauma therapy session.
Trauma doesn’t discriminate. Anyone can develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is a mental health disorder where an individual experiences trauma symptoms for more than 1 month. PTSD doesn’t just impact your health and quality of life when it comes to work, school, and relationships, but PTSD can also keep you from living a fulfilling life out of fear, shame, or guilt you feel because of your trauma. Trauma can be a single event or a series of events. For example, examples of traumatic events may include car accidents, the death of a loved one, childhood trauma (ie. physical, verbal, or sexual abuse), witnessing war or a natural disaster, and more. Regardless of the type of trauma you’ve endured or the age at which you experienced trauma in your life, it’s essential to understand that trauma can stay with you for the rest of your life if you continue to deny, ignore, or hide from it. However, you don’t have to suffer in silence with trauma– help is available.
