Trauma and PTSD
Faye Williams
Therapist, Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
While PTSD is considered a disordered way of coping with trauma, what if your body is doing what they need to keep you safe? Trauma is always overwhelming and complex, even if it has occurred from an isolated event. It takes time and gentleness and patience to unravel its effects.

Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
I have worked with clients who have been traumatized as a child, teenager, adult or older adult. Trauma can occur due to emotional, physical, sexual or psychological assault. Everyone experiences and manages their trauma exposure in their own unique way. Sometimes we are not even aware of events that have happened to us or have spent a lifetime trying not to remember. Regardless, that experience can impact how we think about and treat ourselves and others. Depending on the severity and duration of that trauma, it is not uncommon for it to affect our ability to work, parent, maintain relationships, function and even tolerate being around others. I work with clients who have experienced physical and psychological abuse, sexual abuse or exploitation, combat or military trauma, racism, discrimination and marginalization, sexism and violence. Everyone's story is unique and I work to help that individual process those experiences at a pace that they can manage to reclaim the life they deserve.

Psychologist, PhD, LPC, PsyD, MSW, Marriage and Family Counselor, LCSW
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop from being exposed to a wide variety of traumatic events such as motor vehicle crashes, home accidents, sexual assault, domestic violence, or being involved in a natural disaster. As the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) describes it, PTSD happens after “being witness to or being exposed to situations involving threatened or actual serious physical harm or death.” But it’s important to keep in mind that experiencing a trauma doesn’t mean a person will absolutely develop PTSD.

Trauma & PTSD – The impact of trauma is powerful in that the experience of the past is stored in our memories as a survival mechanism of our brains. The reminders of trauma then occur in situations where there is no need for a survival response. We end up with frequent reminders of the trauma, that bring it into the present instead of letting it fade into the past. Methods are used involving education about the body’s vagus system, visualization, sensory soothing, and new strategies to reduce the intensity of intrusive memories.
