Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: PTSD Treatments

The Physiological Aspect of PTSD:

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can take its toll on a person’s body. In addition to the emotional struggles of Depression, Anxiety, Rage, and Sleep Disorder associated with PTSD, many who suffer from this disorder also battle with a variety of physical issues over time: high blood pressure, body temperature dysregulation, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, Reynaud’s phenomenon, nausea, severe muscle tension, irritable bowel syndrome, sensory processing disorder, asthma, a weakened immune system, and/or a host of other conditions. Many times, even the patients’ doctors are stumped as to why these people, who may appear otherwise to be physically healthy, do, in fact, have so many different conditions. These patients are not hypochondriacs; the symptoms are real and actual. These physical conditions are related to a physiological condition often associated with this disorder.

When someone develops Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, there are actual, physical changes that take place in the brain. These changes have a critical effect on the proper functioning of the parasympathetic nervous system. Over time, this dysfunction begins to affect various autonomic body systems. Physical symptoms appear and often spiral out of control! Many patients are told there is little that can be done for this … outside of medication to attempt to control or reduce symptoms. Unfortunately, a medication for one issue may exasperate another issue, and before you know it, someone suffering from the physiological effects of this disorder may be on any number of medications and doing their best to manage the side effects. There are effective PTSD treatments that do not include medication!

 Do I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Neurofeedback is one of the most promising and effective PTSD treatments! Through neurofeedback, Dallas Brain Changers has the ability to help rebalance the brain to reduce or eliminate symptoms and the associated disorders without medication. The results are permanent, and prescriptions can typically be reduced or eliminated, as well.

The Emotional Aspect of PTSD:

The negative memories, associated fears, and the adverse emotions related to the trauma(s) that cause PTSD can be overwhelming to process for the person struggling with this disorder. Counseling with Dallas Brain Changers allows the client a greater opportunity to heal emotionally as the brain heals physiologically. The client addresses the impact of the trauma, identifies and processes specific triggers and fears still attached to the pain, effectively tackles issues of Depression, Anxiety, Rage, Sleep Disorder, and other comorbid conditions that may have developed or worsened as a result of the trauma.

The results of PTSD treatments with Dallas Brain Changers bring hope to those who are hurting: a brain that learns to function effectively, a body that heals from the associated physical conditions/symptoms and learns to tackle stress appropriately, and a confident person who begins to experience tranquil, peaceful emotions that had long ago eluded him or her!
