Healing from Trauma: Understanding PTSD and Recovery
Trauma can affect the mind and body long after the event has passed. Many patients in Massachusetts live with PTSD symptoms without realizing they are treatable. With the right care, healing and recovery are possible.
What PTSD Can Look Like
Nightmares or flashbacks
Avoiding reminders of trauma
Feeling constantly on edge or unsafe
Mood swings, anger, or emotional numbness
How PTSD Impacts Daily Life
PTSD can interfere with sleep, relationships, and work. Many patients avoid seeking help because of stigma — especially in Hispanic/Latino communities where trauma is often left unspoken.
