Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that some people get after experiencing a threatening and painful event like an accident, sexual abuse, war, bad experience in health care etc.

If you have experienced a traumatic event in your life and are faced with flashbacks of this trauma, memory loss, feeling much more anxious and vigilant compared to before or avoiding things that remind you of the trauma, then you might be suffering from PTSD. Note that these symptoms often appear within a few weeks but it can also take years.

Our therapy for PTSD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the guidance of your therapist and CBT for PTSD, you will work through the traumatic memories, maybe even visiting situations and/or places that remind you of your trauma. While this might sound painful, it has been proven in numerous research studies to be an effective way to overcome PTSD. This is done under controlled conditions guided by your therapist at a pace that suits you. The result? A dramatic decrease in your anxiety reactions and symptoms, allowing you to live a life free from past traumatic events.
