Trauma triggers are elements that can evoke feelings of distress and anxiety in trauma survivors. These triggers can take many different forms, such as sights, smells, sounds, and memories. For example, a survivor might feel overwhelmed by the smell of smoke if they experienced a fire in their past. Or they might become extremely anxious after hearing certain noises or witnessing certain events. And while these triggers are hard to control, it is important for trauma survivors to understand them and learn ways to manage them.

One effective strategy for dealing with trauma triggers is to

develop awareness around them. Jordan helps clients achieve this by learning to pay close attention to their body’s reactions during times of distress and noting what causes them to feel overwhelmed. This information can then be used to make changes to environment or habits that will help you avoid those triggers whenever possible.

So, if you are struggling with trauma triggers, remember that there are strategies that can help you manage them effectively. By reaching out for therapy, you can learn strategies. PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a condition that is characterized by a range of distressing symptoms, such as heightened anxiety and re-experiencing of traumatic events. According to the latest version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the DSM-5) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), PTSD symptoms can include flashbacks, avoidance behaviors, numbness, and feelings of detachment or dissociation. These symptoms can be debilitating and can make daily life extremely difficult for those who are affected.

There is still much research needed in order to fully understand PTSD, however, it is clear that PTSD has a profound impact on those who struggle with it. Fortunately, new advances in science and technology and mental health modalities give us hope for a brighter future for PTSD sufferers around the world. One such modality is EMDR. Jordan is an EMDR Certified Therapist in Fort Lauderdale.

Healing from PTSD and trauma can be a long and difficult process; however, is possible. First, it is important to seek professional help. A mental health therapist can provide you with support and guidance as you work through your memories and emotions.

In addition, self-care is essential. This includes things like sleeping 8 hours per night, eating nutritious food, and regular physical activity. It is also important to find healthy coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety. This might include relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation. By taking care of yourself both physically and emotionally, you can begin to heal the damage that has been done by PTSD and trauma. Talk to Jordan about other ways you can heal from PTSD. He works with folks from many backgrounds who have suffered single-incident and/or multiple traumas who are suffering from PTSD and suffering from Complex-PTSD.
