Therapy
for Veterans
Hair-trigger temper
Your anger runs skin deep – anything can set it off. Getting cut off in traffic; being put on hold to make an appointment; tripping over your kids’ toys—you’re easily triggered.
Even happy moments are dangerous, because one minute you’re there and the next you slip back.
The sounds of combat are deafening. Fireworks and 4th of July have lost their attraction and now only cause panic and anxiety. The faces of the friends you lost rush to the front of your mind. In many ways, it’s like you haven’t come back to your life at all.
Bravery on the home front
And fear of never being able to really be home is tangible. Staying connected to now, when everything inside you goes back to the “then,” takes all of your effort and strength.
You know that here and now is where you are supposed to be. And still, the past calls out to you…
The trauma of what you have faced is unlike any other and will require all your bravery to get through.
Healing can start today
You don’t have to face that trauma alone. Someone can join you on this journey.
The combat is over, but the battle to be engaged and connected in your life has just begun. Healing can start today. Please call me at (562) 773-3044 to make an appointment or complete the contact form below.
