Understanding Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Experiencing a traumatic event can leave a lasting mark, and for some, the impact becomes persistent. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition where memories, emotions, and physical reactions to trauma continue long after the event has passed. This can be triggered by a single traumatic incident or by repeated exposure to adversity, sometimes referred to as complex trauma. PTSD can affect daily life, relationships, and sense of safety, making it hard to feel grounded in the present.
What PTSD Feels Like
People living with post traumatic stress disorder may experience flashbacks, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, or heightened arousal and anxiety. Avoidance of reminders, emotional numbness, or difficulty trusting others are also common. When complex trauma is involved, these symptoms may be more pervasive and deeply rooted, making recovery feel overwhelming. Living with PTSD can create tension, fatigue, and emotional strain, even when the triggering event is no longer present.
Why It Matters
Post traumatic stress disorder is more than a reaction to a single event — it shapes the way you experience safety, connection, and self-understanding. Complex trauma can amplify these effects, particularly when trauma occurs repeatedly or in formative periods. Left unaddressed, PTSD can interfere with relationships, work, and overall wellbeing, yet recognising it as a treatable condition opens the path toward healing and empowerment.
