Understanding PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, and uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

Trauma-Informed Therapy Options

Effective treatments for PTSD include Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR, and Prolonged Exposure therapy. Many online platforms now offer these evidence-based approaches.

Finding the Right Therapist

When seeking online therapy for trauma, look for therapists specifically trained in trauma-focused approaches. Both BetterHelp and Talkspace allow you to filter for trauma specialists.
