Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a traumatic, scary or dangerous event. PTSD can be caused by either witnessing or experiencing the trauma. Events that sometimes trigger PTSD include everything from sexual assault, war, and violence, to car accidents or other incidents that could cause loss of life. It is not at all uncommon for people who go through something traumatic to have temporary difficulty coping and acute symptoms, but with time, they usually get better. However, if the symptoms last longer than a month, get worse rather than better and affect your ability to function, you may be suffering from PTSD. Symptoms of PTSD may include severe anxiety, anger, nightmares, trouble sleeping, flashbacks to the event, frightening thoughts, avoidance of situations or places, feeling on edge and/or being easily startled. If you think you may be experiencing PTSD, reach out to one of TherapyDen’s specialists today to get help.
Starting a family or adding to your family can be so overwhelming! It is common to experience intense social pressures, unmet personal expectations, losses, hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, relationship challenges and/or isolation. Often, we grieve the loss of who we once were, before this journey began! Our experiences may bring about emotions including worry, confusion, doubt and fear. It can be exhausting and impacts our ability to enjoy the life we have worked hard to create.

Either way, it can really impact who you believe yourself to be. But with the right intervention, you can learn how to keep it from controlling your life.
