PTSD & Trauma

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event — such as a serious accident, physical or sexual assault, combat, natural disaster, or the sudden death of a loved one. Symptoms include intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance of reminders, negative changes in mood and cognition, and hypervigilance.

Not everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD. Some people recover naturally, while others experience symptoms that persist for months or years. The difference often depends on factors like the severity of the trauma, previous trauma history, and available support systems.

Treatment at Nafs Wellcare includes EMDR (the most researched trauma treatment), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. Our trauma specialists create a safe, paced environment where you process the traumatic experience without feeling retraumatised.
