It is horrible for any child to experience trauma. Whether its a car accident, animal attack, physical assault, sexual abuse, or other forms of trauma, it all can cause post traumatic stress disorder. PTSD leaves a child feeling fearful, angry, defective, and sometimes hopeless about life. After trauma a child often feel vulnerable and can lose trust in the world.
Therapy for PTSD starts with creating a safe place for children to talk about their fears and eventually work on the trauma. We understand that the last thing that most children who have been through a trauma want to do is talk about it, so we wait until they feel comfortable and ready. Unfortunately, the way to recover from trauma is to work through it and process it and the avoidance of thinking of or talking about the trauma is what keeps the PTSD alive. Fortunately there are effective treatments for PTSD. At the Bay Area Center for Anxiety we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy, which are A rated treatments for PTSD. These types of therapy can help you to get your life back and stop being tormented by your trauma. |
