TRAUMA THERAPY
Trauma therapy in Atlanta and Sandy Springs and in the state of Georgia.
Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”
Fred Rogers
Trauma Therapy
Do you feel you can never escape the past or the traumas you have been carrying? Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice this impact in every facet of your life, and this can be unresolved trauma. There can be a lot of fear associated with traumas, and it can be tricky to admit them. Trauma does not have to be. Trauma once treated, you can find you again. Trauma therapy can help you process your experience and develop coping skills to help you move forward. With multiple counselors trained in trauma therapy, Towler Counseling can help you cope with traumatic events and move on. The next step can be difficult, but we provide a supportive and empathic environment.
What is trauma? Trauma is an emotional response resulting from a disturbing, upsetting, or life-changing event. Trauma can be one event or many events that happened to you. The effects of trauma can heavily influence a person’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Many people are dealing with trauma but do not understand that trauma is the underlying issue. Traumatic events can also lead to post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. Trauma is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape, or natural disaster. Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships, and even physical symptoms like headaches or nausea.
