Common questions about ptsd counseling therapy
What is the difference between trauma and PTSD?
Trauma is the experience; PTSD is a specific set of symptoms that persists more than a month afterward — intrusive memories, avoidance, negative mood changes, and hyperarousal. Many people have trauma reactions without meeting full PTSD criteria, and both deserve care.
Can PTSD be treated, or will I always have it?
PTSD is highly treatable. Evidence-based therapy significantly reduces symptoms for most people, and many no longer meet criteria after treatment.
How do I stop nightmares and flashbacks?
Grounding skills can shorten flashbacks right away, and processing the underlying memory in therapy reduces how often they happen. We also address sleep directly, since better sleep lowers overall reactivity.
Is PTSD therapy available online in Minnesota?
Yes. I provide HIPAA-compliant telehealth therapy for PTSD to adults 18 and older anywhere in Minnesota.
