At Jim Schettler Counseling, we provide compassionate trauma therapy in Nashville, TN, with both in-person and online options available.
UNDERSTANDING TRAUMA AND PTSD
Trauma can arise from many experiences—accidents, abuse, loss, or other painful events. For some, these experiences develop into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which may involve flashbacks, nightmares, or heightened anxiety. For others, it may manaifest In much more sutle ways that may just look like depression, anxiety, excessive worry or hypervigilence.
