Common questions
Can't find what you're looking for? Call us at (210) 286-7827.
Do I have to describe my trauma in detail?
No. You share only what you're comfortable sharing, at your own pace. Treatment can move forward without reliving every detail.
How is PTSD different from normal stress after a hard event?
Some distress after a difficult event is normal and often fades. PTSD involves persistent, intrusive symptoms, like flashbacks or hypervigilance, that continue to disrupt daily life.
Can trauma symptoms improve without medication?
Yes, for many people. Therapy and coping strategies can be very effective on their own; medication is one option among several, not a requirement.
What if my trauma happened a long time ago?
It's never too late to seek help. Trauma-informed care can be beneficial regardless of how much time has passed.
