PTSD can cause intrusive flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of reminders, hypervigilance, emotional numbing and more. When these symptoms disrupt work, relationships, daily routines, or safety, a trauma‑informed assessment can clarify diagnosis, identify urgent needs (safety, sleep, substance use), and guide a paced plan focused on stabilization and coping skills. If PTSD symptoms are interfering with your life, schedule an assessment: 407-901-4258 🧠⚠️
