Trauma and PTSD
Ganga Mayee J Wasserman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RYT
There is no shame in any feeling or thought. You are not your diagnosis. When you learn that it's OK to express deep emotions and thoughts, you get yourself back. Make your own realizations, which empowers you. Non-judgmental: embracing all lifestyles, beliefs, faiths, and sexual orientations.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Trauma can deeply impact individuals, manifesting in various forms of distress and hindering their ability to lead fulfilling lives. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that offers hope and healing for those grappling with traumatic experiences. By engaging in bilateral stimulation, typically through eye movements, taps, or sounds, EMDR helps individuals process distressing memories and reframe negative beliefs associated with the trauma. Through this process, clients can experience a reduction in the emotional intensity of their memories and develop healthier coping mechanisms, empowering them to move forward with resilience and renewed strength. EMDR provides a safe and effective pathway towards healing, allowing individuals to reclaim agency over their lives and restore a sense of balance and well-being.

None of us can escape some level of trauma; inevitably, it will be a part of life. How much it affects us, however, depends on many factors including the nervous system we were born with, our outer resources, and how much relational support we receive to help us recover from the trauma. Many people do not have access to adequate resources to help them recover from trauma (and this is very subjective and personal, varying from person to person), and the trauma continues to affect them in (sometimes subtle, but still) impactful ways. If certain factors come together, PTSD may develop out of trauma. Often clients feel like they have failed because they can't completely "get over" their PTSD reactions. I have often reminded clients that PTSD is "the gift that keeps on giving". It can be very hard, perhaps impossible, to completely eradicate PTSD reactions, because the reaction is not just of the mind, it is of the whole body. My approach to helping clients with trauma and PTSD involves looking at it holistically and working to understand how the trauma changed you, your reaction across many facets of your life (thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviors, self-care or lack thereof, expectations, how you view the world), and then working on replacing what is harmful with what is helpful. The goal isn't to completely get rid of the PTSD symptoms (which is likely impossible) but rather to dramatically reduce its effect on you, so you can live your best life, and so an occasional symptom breaking through will not derail you.
