People don't drown because they can't swim; they drown because they panic.
In working with psychological trauma, the challenge is learning how to remember without reliving. The therapists at the Denver Psychotherapy Center have over 17,000 hours of experience providing PTSD and complex PTSD treatment. Our clinical expertise empowers clients to manage symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and build emotional resilience.
Sometimes trauma occurs in a single instance:
...such as a car accident or being the victim of a crime. Other times, trauma unfolds over time in multiple incidents—like childhood abuse or prolonged bullying. Whether your trauma is acute (PTSD) or developmental (C-PTSD), evidence-based therapies can help you heal. At Denver Psychotherapy Center, we use only scientifically validated approaches with success rates well above national averages.
What Are the Symptoms of PTSD and C-PTSD?
If you experience three or more of the following, consider scheduling an evaluation:
- Feelings of hopelessness and depression.
- Intense anger and a sense of disconnection from loved ones.
- High anxiety or fear, even in safe environments.
- Anhedonia: inability to enjoy activities that once brought pleasure.
- Frequent hypervigilance or feeling “triggered” without clear cause.
- Substance abuse to numb trauma symptoms.
- Sexual dysfunction following a traumatic event.
- Intrusive flashbacks or dissociative episodes.
- Night terrors, sleepwalking, or sleep disturbances.
- Overwhelm in crowds, loud noises, or bright lights.
