Trauma & PTSD
3 articles from our Denver practice.
Trauma changes how the brain handles memory and threat, and for people of faith it often damages something else as well — the sense of God as safe. These articles cover prolonged exposure, the evidence-based treatment we use for PTSD, what trauma does to a person’s image of God, and the cost carried by the people who spend their working lives absorbing other people’s pain.
If you are looking for care rather than reading, see our trauma therapy using prolonged exposure.
