Trauma

Are you experiencing distressing memories, emotional numbness, or feeling constantly on edge after a difficult or overwhelming experience?

At Sona Psychiatry & TMS, we provide compassionate, trauma-informed psychiatric care focused on helping individuals feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout their healing process.

​​​​​​​Although trauma can lead to long-lasting symptoms such as anxiety, guilt, shame, irritability, and flashbacks, our providers specialize in evidence-based treatment approaches designed to help patients of all ages recover and regain emotional stability.

Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to deeply distressing or overwhelming experiences. It may result from a single event or ongoing experiences such as abuse, neglect, or chronic stress, and can continue to affect thoughts, emotions, and behavior long after the event has passed.

Trauma can affect both the mind and body. It may present as intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, irritability, heightened anxiety, difficulty trusting others, and feeling constantly “on alert.” Some individuals may also experience sleep disturbances, trouble concentrating, or avoidance of reminders of the traumatic event.
