Complex anxiety goes beyond everyday worry—it’s a deep, layered response that can stem from prolonged stress or challenging life experiences, leaving someone feeling constantly on edge or overwhelmed. Complex trauma, on the other hand, arises from repeated or severe events, like abuse or neglect, and can leave lasting emotional scars, disrupting how a person feels safe or connected. Someone might wrestle with just complex anxiety, tangled in relentless unease, or they could face both, where trauma fuels a cycle of heightened fear and distress. These overlapping struggles—often called comorbidities—bring extra layers of complexity, involving not just one issue but a mix of factors that need careful unpacking. We’re here to help, especially with these tougher cases, offering the understanding and tools to navigate multiple disorders and their unique challenges.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, leaving a lasting impact. It often brings intrusive memories, flashbacks, or nightmares that pull you back to the moment, alongside feelings of anxiety, avoidance, or being constantly on edge. Daily life can feel like a battle, but with the right support, healing is possible—we’re here to guide you through it with care and understanding.
People with OCD have no control over what intrusive thoughts will pop into their brain. These thoughts can occur very frequently—often with no rhyme or reason. This is very distressing to the individual, and their compulsions are an effort to “push away” those obsessions and/or prevent them from happening again.
