Trauma

Trauma can have a lasting and devastating effect on our quality of life. Traumatic events include motor vehicle accidents (MVA), work-related or personal injuries.

Many victims of traumatic events have difficultly regulating their thoughts, problems with memory and become fearful and phobic. Others may withdraw from people and avoid many activities they once enjoyed or fight anger and a feeling of being on edge. Others have disturbing images, dreams, nightmares and flashbacks of the event and may retreat into alcohol as a way of coping. If one was physically injured, acute pain, somatic complaints, and mood symptoms make the traumatic events worse.

YRPS provide psychological assessments and treatment for symptoms resulting from a traumatic life event to help rebuild your life.
