Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) assists those with PTSD in processing and healing from painful memories. This technique involves guided eye movements to help reframe and reduce the emotional response associated with traumatic memories.
If you or a loved one is suffering from the painful effects of trauma, treatment can help. Though it is common for individuals to struggle with trauma, flashbacks and severe stress responses highlight a need for professional intervention. Taking the first step towards recovery can be difficult, but PTSD treatment allows individuals to regain a sense of control and security.
Unfortunately, untreated PTSD can lead to drug addiction and alcoholism. This toxic dependency only worsens a person’s condition. Thoroughbred Wellness and Recovery has programs specifically designed to treat both addiction and co-occurring PTSD simultaneously.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health condition that stems from a single traumatic event or multiple traumatic events. Traumatic events include those that are shocking, upsetting, or scary. Examples of these situations include military hardships, natural disasters, car accidents, and witnessing traumatic events such as death or serious injury. Additionally, different forms of abuse are often linked to PTSD. These include but are not limited to emotional, sexual, and physical abuse.
Those with PTSD may experience reoccurring flashbacks and nightmares centered around their past traumas. These episodes can continue for weeks, months, or even years. PTSD symptoms surface when a situation triggers memories of an individual’s trauma—thus causing an intense emotional and/or physical reaction.
