PTSD and Trauma Therapy and Counselling in Singapore
Understanding Trauma and PTSD
While a traumatic event can leave a lasting impact on your mental and emotional well-being, you can take the first step toward recovery by learning how to identify post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
What is PTSD and Trauma?
Trauma refers to the emotional response someone has to a distressing event. While many people experience some emotional distress after a difficult event, PTSD is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a terrifying or life-threatening event. Without intervention or therapy, PTSD and trauma can cause a range of symptoms that affect a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Signs and Symptoms of PTSD and Trauma
PTSD and trauma can manifest in various ways, impacting individuals differently. Additionally, the common signs and symptoms can be categorised into four key areas:
Emotional Signs:
• Anxiety and fear
• Depression and sadness
• Irritability and anger
• Guilt and shame
• Feeling emotionally numb
Physical Signs:
• Disturbed sleep (insomnia or nightmares)
• Fatigue and low energy
• Muscle tension and headaches
• Increased heart rate and sweating
• Gastrointestinal problems
Cognitive Signs:
• Intrusive thoughts and memories
• Difficulty concentrating
• Memory problems
• Negative thoughts and beliefs
• Feeling detached from reality
Behavioural Signs:
• Avoidance of reminders of the trauma
• Social isolation and withdrawal
• Difficulty maintaining relationships
• Increased substance use
• Self-destructive behaviours
PTSD and Trauma Types
Trauma and PTSD can stem from various experiences, and their common types are:
• Complex PTSD: This results from prolonged or repeated trauma, often experienced in childhood. What’s more, it can involve difficulties with emotional regulation, relationships, and sense of self.
• Dissociative PTSD: This type includes dissociative symptoms, such as feeling disconnected from oneself or having gaps in memory.
• Birth Trauma: This can occur due to traumatic childbirth experiences for both the mother and the baby.
• Vicarious Trauma: This can affect individuals who are regularly exposed to others' traumatic experiences. Additionally, those working in the emergency response and mental health counselling fields are commonly the ones who experience secondary trauma.
Seeking Help to Address Trauma and PTSD
Seeking professional help is essential if you've identified potential signs or causes of PTSD and trauma. Besides, early intervention through PTSD counselling can help you address concerns that also allow you to avoid long-term complications.
​
If you’re struggling with trauma, counselling for stress management and therapy can help. Through consistent sessions, you may develop coping mechanisms, allowing you to gain control of your life. Consequently, you can better navigate challenges and build resilience for the future.
​
It’s also worth noting that counsellors and therapists provide a non-judgmental and empathetic space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings related to the trauma. What’s more, they can help you understand your reactions and work through the emotional impact of the experience.
