EMDR + Trauma therapy in bethesda
Gain support and strategies to work through past or current traumatic experiences with online trauma therapy by a Bethesda counselor.
You can overcome traumatic experiences and feel in control of your life.
These may be a single large-scale event or a series of experiences that build up over time.
Some types of trauma include:
- Neglect or abandonment
- Loss, grief, or unresolved life situations
- Car accidents
- Natural disaster
- Medical events or procedures
- Being robbed, attacked, or raped
- Verbal, physical, or sexual abuse experienced as a child or adult
- Divorce
- Growing up or living in an unpredictable home (such as living with or being cared for by someone with an addiction)
Sometimes, you experience a change in your emotions, thoughts, or behavior immediately following an event. Other times, your symptoms may not appear until some time has passed.
Regardless, this experience interferes with your daily life. You may have trouble processing your feelings and not feel like yourself.
Often during a trauma, the brain gets overwhelmed and may struggle to fully process the event. As a result, you may feel fearful, have flashbacks, nightmares, or experience high levels of stress, and anxiety, particularly when you experience triggers related to the event.
You can work through your past or current painful experiences with trauma counseling.
Coping with trauma is difficult to do on your own.
But, you don’t have to feel stuck by your traumatic event. You can overcome these experiences and get back to a fulfilling life.
A Bethesda counselor trained in trauma-based therapies can help you reprocess these experiences and memories safely. So you can overcome the trauma and be present in your life and relationships.
