PTSD Therapy
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is becoming a more prevalent diagnosis in today’s world. Whether you want to refer to it as PTSD or post-traumatic stress, essentially it involves a set of symptoms that begin after experiencing a trauma that one is unable to resolve on their own for months or even years after that trauma. The good news is there has been so much growth in the way of treatment for PTSD, and PTSD therapy is shown to be effective in treating symptoms.

It’s important to know that PTSD symptoms CAN actually be treated. With Freedom Within Center’s PTSD counseling in San Diego, it’s not a matter of just learning coping tools for managing the symptoms – our PTSD therapy actually treats the symptoms so that the symptoms themselves lessen or are less significant. This is great news because it means that with PTSD therapy, you can get back to living the life you want to be living.
