"Contrary to popular misconceptions, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder  and Acute Stress Disorder  are not typical responses to prolonged abuse. They are the outcomes of sudden exposure to severe or extreme Stressors . Some victims whose life or body have been directly and unequivocally threatened by an abuser react by developing these syndromes. PTSD is, therefore,  associated with the aftermath of physical abuse in both children and adults."

Our Spectrum of Services





Most PTSD victims are especially vulnerable on the anniversaries of their recent abuse. They try to avoid thoughts, feelings, conversations, activities, situations, or people who remind them of the traumatic occurrence ("triggers"). 

Testimonial

In an attempt to suppress this constant playback and the attendant exaggerated startle response (jumpiness), the female victim tries to avoid all stimuli associated, however indirectly, with the traumatic event. Many develop full-scale phobias (agoraphobia, claustrophobia, fear of heights, aversion to specific animals, objects, modes of transportation, neighbourhoods, buildings, occupations, weather, and so on)

PTSD need not appear immediately after the harrowing experience. It can ' and often is ' delayed by days or even months. It lasts more than one month (usually much longer). Sufferers of the famous PTSD report subjective diStress (the manifestations of PTSD are ego-dystonic). Their functioning in various settings ' job performance, grades at school, sociability ' deteriorates markedly.
