Vi har 1060 psykologer med dette speciale

PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) can develop after extreme experiences such as accidents, assaults, war, or other traumatic events. Symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance behavior, and heightened alertness. A trauma-specialized psychologist can help you process these experiences through evidence-based methods like EMDR or trauma-focused cognitive therapy.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

When should I seek help after a traumatic experience?

If symptoms last more than a month and affect your daily life, you should seek help. It's normal to have reactions after trauma, but persistent flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance, and emotional withdrawal suggest PTSD.

What is EMDR treatment?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma treatment where you recall traumatic memories while following the therapist's finger movements. This helps the brain reprocess memories so they lose their emotional intensity.

Can old traumas still be treated?

Yes, even traumas from many years ago can be treated effectively. It's never too late to seek help. Unprocessed traumas can affect you unconsciously, and treatment can provide significant relief regardless of when the experience occurred.
