PTSD Treatment in Boca Raton | The 3 Principles of PTSD Treatment
In today’s world, the prevalence of experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, resulting in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), is higher than ever. Traumatic events include, but are not limited to, combat, sexual assault, and physical or mental abuse. Addressing and treating PTSD is a crucial step for improving quality of life after a traumatic event.

As we work together to create an individualized plan for coping with PTSD, it is important to remind yourself of the 3 principles of PTSD treatment.
Acknowledge the signs and symptoms. Because PTSD is inclusive of various signs and symptoms, it can be challenging to recognize the condition without consulting a professional. Living with PTSD can be disorienting, causing symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, numbness, or dissociation. Whether the symptoms arise immediately following an event, or several years after, acknowledging your PTSD symptoms is essential to healing.
Practice the recommended mechanisms for treatment. With a combination of evidence-based techniques, such as talk therapy and modalities such as EMDR, CBT, and clinical hypnotherapy, we have had good results helping clients overcoming traumatic stress. At Morgan Counseling & Wellbeing, we are trained in multiple modalities for treating PTSD and will work with you to discover the best approach for your PTSD treatment.
Experience the benefits of your progress. As clients progress in their path to healing, they often report an abundance of benefits, including an increased capacity to appreciate the present instead of focusing on the past. This is important because it often allows clients to turn negative thoughts into positive outlooks. Over time, clients report reducing or eliminating PTSD symptoms.
Each year, PTSD affects millions of individuals, so we want to remind you that you’re not alone in this journey.
