Tips for Supporting Your PTSD Recovery
Be Honest With Providers
Open communication builds better care. Share your symptoms, struggles, and progress openly with your providers. Even small details can help them adjust your treatment plan and ensure you receive the best support.
Stay Consistent
Consistency is key to healing. Don’t skip ketamine infusions, therapy sessions, or medications. Recovery may take time, but with patience and trust in your providers, lasting progress is possible.
Educate Yourself
Knowledge empowers healing. Learn about PTSD and coping strategies to manage it more effectively. Encourage your family and friends to learn too, so they can better understand and support you.
Keep a Journal
Tracking symptoms and triggers can reveal helpful patterns. Journaling allows you and your therapist to identify what sparks episodes and create strategies to handle them more effectively in the future.
Take Care of Yourself
Avoid alcohol or drugs for temporary relief—they often worsen symptoms long-term. Instead, focus on healthy lifestyle choices and coping methods that truly support your mental health.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PTSD?
Understanding PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic or life-threatening event. A person does not need to be directly involved—simply witnessing a traumatic situation can be enough to trigger PTSD symptoms.
Commonly reported symptoms include flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, low self-esteem, insomnia, and persistent negative emotions. Some individuals may struggle to recall the traumatic event, while others may relive it repeatedly through disturbing memories. Because PTSD presents differently in everyone, its impact can vary widely from person to person.
Although PTSD can feel overwhelming, treatment is possible. A variety of options are available to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life — from traditional approaches like therapy and medication to innovative treatments such as ketamine infusion therapy, which has shown rapid and promising results for many patients.
What are the symptoms of PTSD?
Symptoms of PTSD
The effects of PTSD can involve a wide range of symptoms, and no two people experience them the same way. Some of the most common include:
Flashbacks & Nightmares
Disruptive flashbacks are one of the hallmark symptoms of PTSD. These may include vivid visual memories or hallucinations of the traumatic event, distressing daydreams, or nightmares that wake you from sleep. Many describe flashbacks as so intense that it feels like they are reliving the trauma all over again.
Avoidance Behaviors
Another key symptom of PTSD is avoidance. This can mean steering clear of places, people, or situations that remind you of the trauma. For example, seeing a police officer might trigger memories of the event, leading you to avoid them. Many individuals also refuse to talk about their painful experiences, which may offer short-term relief but can block the path to long-term healing.
Other Symptoms
Feelings of guilt or shame
Nausea or loss of appetite
A sense of being constantly “on edge”
Irritability or frequent angry outbursts
What causes PTSD?
What Causes PTSD?
PTSD develops after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event that alters the way the brain functions. While researchers are still working to fully understand the condition, evidence suggests that trauma physically changes areas of the brain connected to memory and emotion — particularly the prefrontal cortex and amygdala.
In addition, individuals with PTSD often show elevated levels of stress hormones such as cortisol and norepinephrine. This means the brain can suddenly trigger the fight-or-flight response when exposed to reminders of the traumatic experience.
Common Causes of PTSD
Traumatic events come in many forms, but some of the most common include:
Childhood abuse
Sexual abuse
Domestic violence (physical, verbal, or sexual)
Physical assault
Witnessing a criminal act
Car accidents
Natural disasters
Loss of a loved one
