Free Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Support Group This Saturday at 10:00am



Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is triggered by a terrifying event. 


This can be from observing it or personally experiencing it.

The main symptoms are having flashbacks about the event(s), nightmares, having continued fear, and experiencing severe anxiety.


  While it is normal to have a period of needing to heal after a trauma, it is when a person cannot heal after months of implementing coping skills, that they have PTSD.



PTSD symptoms can be divided into 4 categories. They are:

1. Mental Intrusive Memories
2. Avoidance
3. Negative changes in thought process and mood
4. Changes in how one reacts emotionally

Everyone who has experienced a traumatic event responds to the trauma differently. 

How one heals is individualized as well.

Healing is possible with counseling and having a strong support system such as a support group.


I am a thriving survivor of PTSD and there is HOPE and HEALING!

I offer FREE monthly Support Groups for Trauma and PTSD.  The are offered every 2nd Saturday of each month at 10:00am- 11:15am for Adults of all ages.
 
1.  “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10



2.  “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3

3.  “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
 
4.  “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid.” John 14:27

5.  “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

6.  “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18

7.  “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” Psalm 94:19

8.  “But now, this is what the Lord says…Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1
