Trauma and PTSD Recovery

Unfortunately, life can and does hurt.  While many men and women can effectively process emotional trauma, many require help in order to enjoy healing and freedom.  Through our Psychology Services Division, Capilano Rehab Centre can help you experience breakthroughs and recovery from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).

What are some common PTSD symptoms?

While it is normal to experience stress after an upsetting traumatic event, you should consider seeking help if your issues are causing significant disruption to your life and just won’t go away.  Here are some common symptoms:

• Frequently reliving the event
• Avoiding people and things that remind you of the event
• Significant negative changes in your beliefs, feelings, and behavior
• Constant feeling of being on the edge, irritable and angry
• Feelings of “going crazy”

What Can I Do If I Have PTSD Symptoms?

Most of the time, PTSD symptoms happen right after the trauma.  However, they may manifest weeks, months or years later.  If your symptoms have lasted longer than four weeks, cause you extreme distress, or are negatively impacting your home or work situation, call Capilano Rehab Centre at 780-466-1104 for professional help.  Dr. Ray Seutter, PhD, is an experienced psychologist who can help you walk away from PTSD.  Don’t wait any longer.  Start your recovery journey with us today!
