Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Many of the symptoms of PTSD
are similar to or the same as Stress and also has some of the characteristics of Phobic
reactions. I suggest that you go to
the
Anxiety/Stress Symptoms page and also refer to my comments about
Phobias. Re-experiencing
is a typical symptom of PTSD which is very similar to a Phobic experience
but usually of a much more intense nature.
Client
feedback:
"I went to see Neil as I had been suffering with PTSD for several years
after being in a car accident where the driver died. I
was wracked with ‘what ifs’ and ‘if only’ and also the guilt of being the
one who survived. The
quality of my life was getting worse and worse – I had been to
counsellors, been on and off medication over the years but nothing I did
addressed the flash backs that I kept on getting. I
went to see Neil as a last resort and I truly wish I had found him years
ago. After
the first session I felt so much better and after the second session I
knew I was going to be alright and I did have a life worth living." |
