Understanding Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
PTSD Treatment at Higher Purpose Recovery
Understanding PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. While it’s natural to feel shaken after trauma, PTSD involves symptoms that persist for weeks, months, or even years—and can significantly disrupt daily life.
At Higher Purpose Recovery, we offer virtual trauma-informed care to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered to process what happened and take back control of your life.
Common Symptoms of PTSD
- Flashbacks or nightmares about the traumatic event
- Emotional numbness or detachment
- Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
- Heightened alertness (hypervigilance) or jumpiness
- Avoiding reminders of the trauma
- Mood swings, irritability, or emotional outbursts
- Persistent feelings of shame, guilt, or fear
What Causes PTSD?
- Military combat or active duty trauma
- Sexual assault or abuse
- Physical violence or domestic abuse
- Car accidents or serious injuries
- Childhood neglect or emotional trauma
- Sudden loss or witnessing death
Many people don’t realize they have PTSD until months or years later. If trauma from the past still feels present, you deserve help.
