Do you feel trapped by feelings of hopelessness, sadness, or isolation?

Complex trauma can leave you feeling stuck in an endless cycle. Sadness, guilt, shame, or anxiety can keep you from living the life you want. If you’ve experienced assault, repeated abuse, or other trauma, you may suffer from C-PTSD.

C-PTSD can trigger feelings of:

• Shame

• Guilt

• Impulsive behavior

• Nightmares

• Worthlessness

• Difficulty concentrating

• Trouble controlling thoughts or emotions

If you have these feelings, there is hope. You don’t have to suffer from these symptoms alone. I, Dr. Vicki Handfield, offer therapy to help you manage symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress disorder.

You don’t have to feel trapped by repressed trauma.

Many people who’ve experienced trauma feel that there is no way out. Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) can keep you from having control over your life. You feel imprisoned by your thoughts and emotions, afraid to move forward.

Working with a compassionate and experienced therapist can help you break free from this cycle of doubt. It can help you create a roadmap for better health. Together, we can unpack your feelings and discover the source of your trauma.

You don’t have to live life afraid.

C-PTSD can trigger lasting effects that keep you afraid of moving forward. Even if you find coping mechanisms that seem to work, they only provide a temporary solution. A professional therapist can offer a clear path forward and help you:

• Feel more stable

• Regain a sense of identity

• Identify negative thought patterns

• Build trust in relationships

• Establish healthy boundaries

• Learn to manage symptoms

I can help you overcome triggers that keep you from reaching your goals. We will work together to develop a clear path and build a strong future.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am here to answer your questions and share the benefits of C-PTSD therapy.

What Is C-PTSD?

Complex post-traumatic stress disorder often happens when people experience frequent trauma. They may have suffered long-term exposure to assault, stress, or other trauma. This exposure can create complex symptoms. The symptoms can linger and affect overall well-being. While these people experience symptoms at different stages and severity, the symptoms can linger for a long time.

Is C-PTSD Different From PTSD?

Yes. C-PTSD symptoms are connected with war, assault, or other violence. People who deal with C-PTSD often exhibit severe behavioral issues. They may struggle with violent or angry outbursts and relationship problems.
