How It Helps

Trauma can train the nervous system to stay on high alert, even when danger has passed. Our approach aims to calm that alarm response and restore a sense of control. You’ll learn practical skills—grounding, paced breathing, and body-based regulation—along with tools to reduce avoidance and rebuild confidence in everyday settings. When appropriate, medication management can help with sleep disruption, anxiety spikes, or mood instability so you can engage with skills more effectively.
The goal is not to erase memories but to change the way they affect your present—less reactivity, fewer intrusive moments, and more time spent living the day you want.

What to Expect in Each Session

Your first session focuses on understanding what you’ve been experiencing and what “feeling safer” would look like for you. We outline immediate stabilization steps (sleep routine, wind-down plan, crisis contacts) and introduce simple grounding drills you can practice between visits.
As stability grows, sessions may include:

• Trigger mapping: identifying cues (sounds, places, dates) and planning responses.

• Gradual exposure & processing: stepwise work that keeps you within a tolerable window.

• Cognitive tools: reframing threat appraisals, reducing guilt or self-blame, clarifying boundaries.

• Lifestyle anchors: movement, nutrition, and structure to support nervous-system regulation.
  Follow-ups review progress, adjust pace, and track markers such as sleep quality, startle response, avoidance time, and confidence returning to important activities. Sessions are available in-clinic or via secure telehealth for consistency.

Why It Matters

Untreated PTSD can quietly shrink life—more avoidance, less sleep, strained relationships, and constant vigilance that drains energy. With the right plan and steady support, most people regain predictable sleep, reduce reactivity, and rebuild trust in daily routines. At Flabwell Health, we emphasize plain-language guidance, measurable goals, and careful pacing so care feels safe, collaborative, and effective. You’ll always know what we’re working on, why it matters, and what comes next.
