PTSD Treatment Perth

Home PTSD Treatment Perth

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a serious mental health disorder. Many people with PTSD often have intrusive thoughts in the form of flashbacks where they may relive their traumatic experience, nightmares, and unwanted memories of the event that traumatised them.

 Many people who have PTSD can also have a negative self-image and struggle with feelings of shame or guilt over their traumatic experience. Many also become more paranoid and withdraw socially to avoid their triggers.

PTSD symptoms often develop within months of the event. However, there are cases wherein PTSD may develop years after the event. Kembali is a world-class treatment centre in Bali that offers treatment for substance abuse and mental health conditions, including those related to trauma.

What Are the Symptoms of PTSD?

Determining whether you are experiencing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder involves a careful self-assessment of your emotional and physical responses following a traumatic event.

Key indicators include re-experiencing the traumatic event. This can manifest as vivid flashbacks, nightmares, or distressing thoughts that intrude into your daily life, making you feel as though you are reliving the experience.

You might also find yourself avoiding places, people, or activities that remind you of the negative memory, or you may try to block out thoughts and feelings related to the event. Other noticeable changes might include persistent negative beliefs about oneself or the world.

Why Perth Residents Need Treatment for PTSD

Drawing on the broader Australian context provided by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), it’s evident that stress and trauma are significant issues affecting individuals nationwide. 

In 2020, 75% of adults in Australia reported facing a traumatic event at some point in their lives. This underscores the need for accessible and effective treatment options in Perth.

The AIHW also highlights that an estimated 11% of Australians experience PTSD in their lifetime, with the prevalence being higher among women. This statistic is a stark reminder of the pervasive nature of trauma and the importance of comprehensive treatment.

What Is EMDR for PTSD?

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)  is used to help those with PTSD process traumatic and distressing moments. During this type of therapy, therapists will use back-and-forth eye movement patterns or other forms of bilateral stimulation to process trauma. 

EMDR sessions usually last between 60 and 90 minutes. This time will be used to help shift your thoughts about a negative thought to a more positive perspective.

Some benefits of EMDR include significant relief from trauma-related symptoms. It’s a way to reduce the symptoms of PTSD and develop healthier coping mechanisms for better emotional regulation.
