5 Critical Reasons to Seek Trauma Counselling
Dr. Mike Dadson identifies when it is critical to seek counseling when you are affected by a traumatic incident or you are suffering from PTSD:
- When there’s something terrible that’s happened in your life either in the past, or even in the present, that would be impeding your growth and development. When you have difficulty being able to adjust or to cope with a particularly invasive or difficult life circumstance.
- When you find yourself engaging in a pattern of unhealthy coping behaviours.
- A PTSD experience either past or present. This could be an overwhelming encounter with a life-threatening traumatic experience, or it could be with a past experience that is still having a highly impactful stress on their lives. PTSD often involves one or more incidences where a person feels their life or well-being is threatened. Childhood trauma, physical, sexual, or verbal abuse can result in trauma and trigger PTSD which can exacerbate all of the above issues.
- You find you are overcome with depression, panic attacks or anxiety.
- You are depressed for more than a few weeks or have been exposed to acute stress for more than a few weeks.
