Trauma and PTSD
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Narcissistic abuse and coercive control cause real, clinically significant trauma. Many of the mothers I work with have never been told this — they've been treated for anxiety or depression without anyone naming the source as relational trauma. The symptoms are real: intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, difficulty trusting others, avoidance of anything that triggers memories of the relationship. Complex PTSD, which develops from prolonged exposure to psychological abuse rather than a single traumatic event, is especially common in survivors of narcissistic relationships. As a licensed psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience and advanced training in trauma, post-separation abuse, and narcissistic abuse recovery, I provide trauma-informed therapy specifically designed for mothers healing from relational trauma and complex PTSD. My approach addresses the trauma at its roots — not just the symptoms — using evidence-based methods tailored to the specific trauma patterns that narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships create.

Many of the issues people struggle with (depression, anger, anxiety, addictions, etc.) have their roots in painful traumatic events. By helping people heal from their trauma, they can more easily overcome painful issues and live happy productive lives.

Trauma and PTSD
Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
I specialize in trauma and PTSD using evidence-based treatments including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE). Trauma often drives anxiety, anger, compulsive behavior, and emotional shutdown without being obvious. Treatment is structured and intentional, aimed at resolving trauma responses rather than managing symptoms indefinitely.
