Trauma Therapy in California
When we think of trauma, most of us think of something truly horrific. Usually, it's an accident, disaster, or act of violence that's so terrible, most of us can't imagine living through it.
In reality, there is not a list of events that makes up the definition of trauma. Any experience can be considered traumatic -- it's the body's response to that event that turns it from an adverse experience into trauma.
Normal reactions to trauma include anxiety, hypervigilance, insomnia, nightmares, and panic attacks, among a whole host of other symptoms. When these experiences persist long after the triggering event, they become post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Whether you are navigating the immediate aftermath of trauma or can't seem to shake something that happened to you years ago, Life by Design Therapy can help. One of our specialties is providing trauma therapy to the Berkeley and Richmond communities.
