Trauma/CPTSD Therapy in Cornwall

What is Trauma/CPTSD?

Trauma and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) are conditions that arise from prolonged exposure to traumatic events. CPTSD involves a range of symptoms, including flashbacks, emotional dysregulation, and difficulties with trust and relationships. Unlike PTSD, which typically stems from a single event, CPTSD results from repeated trauma, impacting various aspects of daily life and well-being.

Do you struggle with trauma or CPTSD?

If past traumatic experiences continue to affect your daily life, leading to feelings of anxiety, shame, or difficulty connecting with others, you may be dealing with trauma or CPTSD. This complex response can create ongoing distress, affecting your mental and physical health, relationships, and day-to-day responsibilities.

Here are some common signs that may indicate it's time to seek therapy for trauma or CPTSD:

  • Flashbacks or intrusive memories of past events
  • Emotional highs and lows without clear triggers
  • Difficulty trusting others or feeling safe

Testimonials

  • I started my therapy with Angela around 6 months ago now and it’s been life changing to say the least. With my personal journey I’ve had a number of traumas which had caused hold backs and blockages within life and so far Angela has helped me through with hypno therapy to change my core beliefs and in turn my mindset with life. Angela was actually recommended to me and I’m passing on that recommendation now also. The practise is welcoming and Angela herself is lovely, she has a calming energy, relaxing voice, and a safe space for you to heal. I’m very grateful to have found such an amazing therapist.
  • Deciding to find a counsellor has been one of the best decisions I have made because, I found Phil. For me it has been an extraordinary journey. From the first email I knew I was in the right place. Making time to see me where there is no time , welcoming and friendly I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of Phil and would recommend him, with out hesitation to any one seeking the same help as I did.
  • Dr. Johanneke is wonderful! I have had two sessions with her and the insights I have gained are invaluable. She is passionate, caring and truly has a gift to help others.
