What Is PTSD?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying or deeply distressing event. It’s not just about “bad memories” — it’s the body and mind staying trapped in survival mode.
PTSD can result from single-event trauma (e.g., assault, accident, medical emergency), or from ongoing experiences like childhood neglect, domestic abuse, or emotional abandonment.
At Live Again India, we understand that trauma isn’t just stored in the mind — it lives in the nervous system.
PTSD therapy isn’t about reliving pain. It’s about rebuilding safety.
🚨 Signs You May Be Living With PTSD
-
Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares
-
Avoidance of reminders or emotional numbness
-
Hypervigilance or exaggerated startle responses
-
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
-
Emotional dysregulation, panic, or shutdown
-
Feelings of detachment or depersonalization
-
Somatic symptoms (headaches, fatigue, tightness) without clear medical cause
🧩 Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and Long-Term Trauma
Some people don’t experience one big traumatic event — but a long, slow exposure to distress. This is known as Complex PTSD. It often stems from:
-
Childhood emotional neglect or abuse
-
Repeated invalidation or abandonment
-
Living in unpredictable or unsafe environments for years
C-PTSD requires long-term, relationally safe therapy — and we provide that.
