Between childhood and adulthood there is the winding steep passage named Adolescence. It is full of bumps, sharp turns and rough patches when you are asked all the hard questions, ones you don’t have answers for and it can make you anxious, often depressed and even angry and irritable. Take a breath. Feel your feet on the ground and get some balance. You are not broken or crazy. Adolescence is a path that is supposed to challenge us. It is part of the human experience. It is designed to provide us with a time to consider who we are and the type of life we want to have. There are no shortcuts from childhood to adulthood, no softer nor easier path. We all go through this challenging passage. While we felt alone at times on this path, we are all connected through this shared experience and are here to support your growing into your possible. We believe in the symmetry that young people keep old people seeing the possible, and old people keep young people alive to make it happen.

Trauma and PTSD Treatment Centers
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
