You haven’t been yourself ever since the traumatic incident happened. It’s changed you. It feels hopeless when you think of going back to who you were before the trauma. Tasks that were once simple are now difficult and sometimes near impossible. Showing up fully to work, school, and even relationships are challenging, because your mind is far from present.

​Maybe you’re filled with anxiety, panic, and fear. No matter what you do, you constantly feel unsettled like you’re going to lose control. You never know what will trigger your past trauma. You’re confused, overwhelmed, and exhausted from the roller coaster ride of emotions, restless sleep, and normal day-to-day tasks that keep piling up.

Maybe you’re a First Responder (Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), firefighter, paramedic, law enforcement officer, and armed forces) or veteran and you feel like you can’t talk to anyone, because they just won’t get it, but the more you keep it inside, the worse it gets…

Your friends and family try their best to support you, but they just don’t know what to do to help. The symptoms of trauma can seep into every aspect of your life, leaving you depressed, helpless, and sometimes even hopeless.
