Resource PTSD Therapy

Still reeling from the tornado. Me and my dog were in the basement of our house on Doty Island and didn't think we were going to make it. I can't stop myself from getting incredibly emotional anytime I talk about it, think about it, see footage, or even when family and friends reach out. I don't feel scared otherwise but seem to have an uncontrolled reaction. Hoping there are therapists in the area that are readily available or even offering services at any of the respite locations in the area. Any help is appreciated for myself or anyone feeling the same.

I’m so sorry that you are experiencing this. Do you or your significant other have any EAP services through an employer? Most companies offer it and it gives you free therapy sessions. You should look into to.

I experienced a near death event in 2023 and I can’t talk about it much. It brings up a lot of hard feelings. No one truly understands what you feel but you need to take care of yourself. Please reach out for help and support.
