Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is due to the long-lasting effects of negative experiences people have endured. Powerful negative experiences (trauma) alter how your mind works and result in an altered perception of threats and safety. The trauma you experienced becomes so embedded that the negative emotions, pain, and anxiety recur throughout your life, and you often become ‘trapped’ in the negative experience and negative emotions. The first line of treatment for PTSD is counseling with a trauma-certified therapist. We strongly encourage anyone with PTSD to establish a relationship with a therapist and start doing the healing work. ReGen offers treatments that augment but don’t replace a healthy patient-counselor alliance.
