What Happens If Trauma & PTSD Symptoms Return?
Recovering from PTSD or other effects of trauma is a long-term effort.
When you get professional care for the effects of trauma or PTSD, you’ll learn to manage the symptoms you’ve been experiencing. You’ll also learn how to identify and respond to triggers in a healthy manner. Triggers are people, places, or situations that can bring about a recurrence of PTSD symptoms.
Of course, there may be times when you’re caught off-guard by a trigger, or when some other experience causes you to struggle with worsening symptoms of trauma or PTSD. Please know that if you once again begin to experience symptoms of trauma or PTSD, this does not mean that your treatment didn’t work or that you have somehow failed.
While you’re receiving care, you’ll develop more productive coping skills, establish a personal support network, and learn that there is no shame in asking for help. Each of these factors will help you if you once again start to struggle with the symptoms and effects of posttraumatic stress disorder.
When you get professional assistance, you’ll become empowered to advocate on your own behalf and reach out for additional help if you need it. These skills can prevent a temporary setback from becoming a long-term problem.
Common Underlying or Co-Occurring Disorders
People who develop PTSD or struggle with other effects of trauma may be at increased risk for certain other mental and behavioral health concerns.
When you get professional care for trauma or PTSD, it’s important to choose a center where you can complete a comprehensive assessment, receive an accurate diagnosis, and follow a personalized plan that addresses any co-occurring disorders that are impacting your life.
At Life Healing Center, our team is uniquely prepared to provide superior service to adults who have been experiencing symptoms of PTSD as well as any co-occurring disorders. We can provide you with the comprehensive care that will empower you to make sustained progress toward improved health.
